My mum plays bingo every night?

Question

All my mum talks about is bingo, she goes every night, and talks about the place everyday, I've even got a job there, as they know her so well, not a day goes by when we don't talk about what's happening down the bingo - does she have a problem?

Answer 1

Sounds like she may have a problem , or maybe she just doesnt have any other hobbies,ect,Talk to her & tell her you think she may have a problem,She may deny it at first but the question will be out in the air ,& if she has got a gambling problem with it out in the open it might make her question herself a little ,,and if she has she may need some support as with any other addiction

Answer 2

she is old let her have fun

Answer 3

Hahahaha omg me to! she is constantly on foxy bingo or something else lmao!.. When she wins she like screams its kinda annoying:) maybe both our mums have problems:| lmao x*x

Answer 4

It sounds like she is enjoying herself!

Answer 5

even if she was addicted to bingo its harmless enough as long as she is not spending her life saving there :-)

Answer 6

If she is not depriving you or herself of food, clothing and shelter, then it`s no problem. Although nightly bingo can become expensive, maybe your mum can well afford it, or maybe she`s lucky and wins most of the money back. When she starts dipping into household money to play bingo, then it becomes a problem.

Answer 7

if you and your mum want to play bingo, play bingo. It's absolutely fine and i don't think your mum has a problem. If that is what she enjoys then let her do what she wants do.

Answer 8

gambling - on anything is not harmless. Remember the expression 'a fool and their money are soon parted?'

Just like any addiction people start and think things are fine and then get sucked into it. If you think your mother has a problem check out the gamblers anonymous web site.
