Fuego,
Not to condone the irresponsible behavior of your gambling SIL, but as you probably already know, gambling is a pervasive problem in the Asian culture. A link here to add some perspective: Gambling, Addiction, and Asian Culture : Asian-Nation :: Asian American History, Demographics, & Issues
I know for many it is difficult to understand, how can someone just go ahead be so irrational and gamble away money that could have been saved for the children. Not to make too many stereotypes, I hope, but I suppose this is the vice of that culture like the stereotype of Americans maxing out on too much credit and digging a hole that's difficult to climb out of.
