I know most of you might think I’m an irresponsible gambler after reading this. But let me share a bit of my story first....
I started gambling when I was around 10 years old, IIRC. It was because of family influence, and yes I eventually got addicted. Hard to admit, but it’s the truth. over time though, I’ve seen some positive outcomes from my gambling experience. I became wiser, more calculated, and a bigger risk-taker and I was able to apply that mindset in running my own business.
Now, I’m a father, and my 17-year-old daughter is starting to gamble too playing slots and even doing some sports betting. I don’t know how to feel, part of me feels oddly proud of what she’s doing.
What does that make me?
Jeez, I thought by the thread title that you daughter was 5 or something but at
17 she is almost an adult.
To out it into perspective - the age of consent in the U.K is 16, meaning at 16 you
are legally allowed to have sex.
If you have explained to your daughter the pitfalls of gambling and where it can
lead to if it goes wrong well then the OP is acting responsibly.
