Re: Look Mom/Dad I won 12K
A lot of us have been through this krap.
My dad used to grumble every time I would mention my poker playing, and my inlaws gave me the horror story of how my wife's granfather lost a house gambling.
My dad's grumbling finally died down when I was able to make a down payment on a house and pay the closing costs out of my poker money. My father in law shut up after he was helping me file my taxes and saw what I we paying taxes on as gambling income.
Sustained winning will quiet them down, especially if you don't try to do it as a full time job.
