True if children follows their parents footsteps the world would been a better place, many thing the children do today the parents never do them, its just our world. The way their train our parents is the different from how our parents train us today. internet has more influence to the children than parents. so its hard to copy your parents life styles. As for me, my parents hate gambling and they banned us from playing it. yet we still play because we have access to the internet and i can play without stepping outside. Parents really has no say on the impact of gambling on children, but they can reduce it by playing advisory role.
True, if children followed in their parents footsteps the world would be a better place, but it doesn't always depend on the parents.
For example, i didn't feel like managing children, i didn't feel up to it nor did i want to do it and i decided not to have any.
If you decide to have a child you have to work hard
Sports are a very necessary part of life. But gambling is beyond the essential part of life. Many students are losing a lot of money in their studies due to their gambling addiction. Just as gambling is causing financial harm to an adult, it is also causing great harm to students in their studies.
And OP, I could not agree with your advice. You do not want to have children because you will be addicted to gambling. If you can give your child an honest education, then that child will be a blessing to you. And if you cannot give your child an honest education, then that child will be a curse in your life. If you want to get something good in life, you have to work hard. So you have to work hard, have children, and raise your child honestly. This is a part of human life.
