My friends aunty called him on the call while we were conversing today, and she was complaining about how her son has withdrawn #20,000 approximately $15 from her account through mobile transfer to play bet and he lost it all.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?
A mom won't be able to do much in this kind of situation, but more of a dads job. Children these days no longer have fear for their mom to the extent that they don't respect them. But still they have more love for their mother.
The best thing I guess the mom can do is to call for help and ask other people to discipline the child and correct him if his gambling activities. A child who at this stage of life if already stealing to gamble will probably turn out to be more worse I'm the future. Train a child the way he should grow. If he is to be stopped now he probably won't have such mindset when he grows up.
I wonder what he was thinking or maybe he was actually intermediated by friends or peer groups to fund money and place on a game that would win. As parents, you should be aware of the kind of friends your child keeps or hang around with.
