You know what's funny about all this, if the son won a lump sum definitely the narrative would be different & could be the hero of the family, but because everyone knows that gambling comes with its risks then the mother will be mad as she regards this as a waste of resources that the family worked for to have!

And before others, say it's a small amount let it slide, well unfortunately when it comes to money...if you don't have the discipline with small money, imagine the indiscipline that can follow with a million bucks   so basically it's about the principal not the amount of money lost.
