My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.
She complained bitterly and pitifully because she struggled to safe such amount of money.

Now, the mum is calling on everyone she could to intervene, discipline the child and force him to provide the money in any means he can without the concern of how he could refund the money.

Question: would she be so disheartened and mad as this if the son had won the bet on a multi million price?
Dear fellows, let's assume you are the mom, what would be your state of mind on this context?

It is a human nature to let go of a simple error if the result outweighs the error a million times. Obviously, the reason why the mother gets angry is because the son stole the money and lost it to gambling. In your given question, since the kid can give back the stolen money with interest, I am sure even stranger will forgive the kid and will receive the money with a smile. Probably that stranger can even hug the kid that gives back the money with huge interest. What more if you are the mother, for sure the kid will probably give you the whole winning amount. So is there a reason to get angry in such a situation that you asked?

It depends on the parent's perspective. Perhaps you believe that stealing money is a forgivable offense, or you are the type of parent who is quick to forgive their child for such a mistake. However, it is not good to easily forgive a child for stealing money at a young age because it may lead them to believe that it is acceptable to do it again in the future, as they can easily avoid facing the consequences.

I'm not a parent yet, but if I ever have a child, I won't let him not learn while growing up, I can't just let him forgive immediately if he does something wrong especially that stealing thing because maybe until he grows up, he'll carry that kind of attitude with him because he thought that is correct. While they are young, they need to be scolded, reprimanded and taught the right things. We can't spoil a child if they done wrong. They need to learn in the most right way.
