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?
It is not clear what the reason is that your daughter is addicted to gambling. Because it's a bit of a strange hobby for a 17-year-old girl. Either you've trained her, or she doesn't have enough money. In any case, it is important that she does not develop gambling addiction, and gambling would remain only as one of the types of pastimes. By the way, if she doesn't have enough money, it might make sense to suggest some kind of activity for her to earn money...
