So my dad has been spending alot of my familys money on lottery tickets and one time I saw him checking the lottery website and he saw me. he told me if i ever told my mother he'll tell her that i have a ps3 in my room. (my mom doesn't let me have a ps3) When he said this I lost all respect for him. He's just a sad little man now.

What should I do? It's probably good to tell my mom. But then I'll lose my ps3 which I invested alot of money on. wtf

btw im 15

I am sure your mother would care a lot more about your father wasting a lot of money on lottery tickets than you owning a PS3 which you invested a lot into.

Hide the PS3 outside, or some place where no one will think to look. Then tell your mom about your dad's problem. When he tells her about your PS3, she'll check your room to find nothing. Then your dad's a gambler AND a liar.

That sounds like a good plan. Until his mom finds out (and she will) that he has a PS3 and he ends up in a lot of trouble.

:|Ohhh.... Well no offense, but your dad is definitely trolling IRL. And I would first try to reason with my mother as to why gaming is okay, so she doesn't flip when your dad tells your mom about you having a PS3. And if you do tell your mom, then all you really have to say is:"Don't turn this around on me, you're the one with the gambling/loterry issue." And I'm sure your mom will be more worried about your father draining the household's money, than you having a gaming system. Though ofcourse how much does your mother hate video gaming... Maybe you could give me some insite into her issues with this subject.

How the f*** do you hide a PS3... Do you unplug it and bury it in the closet when she is home?

tickets arent expensive, and if he can afford it i dont see the issue. If his mother has a problem with games she probably has a problem with a lot of things. Thus why they both are hiding stuff

I think in this situation you have to tell. Gambling a lot of a paycheck on lottery is a problem that could gateway into other forms of gambling. If the family budget falls short where is that going to leave you guys. I can see one to two lottery tickets a week but this could lead to serious problem such as not being able to eat anything other then ramen during a pay period, lapsing on bills leading to bankruptcy, or being evicted/foreclosed because payments can't be made. I hope your mom understands about your ps3 but this is not something that should be hidden.

Go to your mum in tears and offer to sell your secret PS3 to help pay off the debts you assumed your dad was gambling to pay off. Your mum will gain respect for your maturity, family concern and honesty and will flip at your dad for hiding his gambling problem. He will not mention the blackmail and your mum will believe you had no clue you were betraying your dad by revealing what you had never guessed was a dirty secret.

I've seen this movie before. You'd better go tell your mom before your dad comes in your room in the middle of the night, holding a studded leather collar and a whip.

Personally I wouldn't get involved. Seems to be their problem and your mother will find out on her own if she's smart at all. She has to realize this money is going somewhere.

That and a lot of the financial advisers say you're better off to take that money you're going to use to buy lottery tickets and put it in a savings account.

Tell your mom. If you spent your money to buy the PS3, she has no right to take it from you.

IKR. The odds are really against gamblers. They can buy lottery tickets their whole life and never win. plus the money adds up .

Anyways, I'm really not sure what you should do in this situation TC. It really is kind of sad that your dad would blackmail you like that.

I guess you should tell your mom if it is getting out of control.

Complementing this post: perhaps try arranging a friend to look after your PS3, for when you tell her.

Do nothing. You may have lost respect for him, but he probably lost the same respect for you when you tried to snitch on him.

Why not? She's his mother.

So? If he bought it with his own money, then it is his PS3. Why would being his mother give her the right to steal his stuff?

Threaten to phone children's aid. Tell them that he beats/touches you or something, then he'll be the one in trouble. :twisted:

On a serious note, unless he has a gambling addiction I would just let this one slide, but if he's spending a lot of money each week then don't think about your PS3, think about your future.

Because he lives under her roof and she painfully pushed him out during birth.

The way I see it, your mom will find out eventually anyways. Do the right thing and tell her and also tell her that your dad was blackmailing you. With any luck she'll appreciate it enough that she might let you keep it.

"Mom, i think you should know that Dad has been spending a lot of money on lottery tickets. He said that if i tell you he'll take away my PS3 but i feel like i should come clean and be honest with you about the whole thing." Hopefully you'll get some respect for being up front and she'll let you keep it. If not she needs a talk about being more mature and not blindly hating on videogames.

Tell him to mom, then run to your room as fast as you can and chain yourself to ps3. She won't kick you out, right ?
