Should an husband that has elementary aged kids set at your gambling machines in the early morning hours, gamble his money that should be buying his kids food?

You should ask him directly. I see that you also left this question on the pilot page. This is not for the general public or Love's to answer. Sounds like it's better suited for a marriage counselor.

I agree with Cameron, seek professional help for gambling and with your marriage.

He should make the kids go out and work. Collect aluminium cans, shine shoes, wash cars, meanwhile he can sit back and tell them how he had to walk 6 miles in the snow uphill everyday just to go to school. And the wife should be panhandling at the nearby shopping center

Illegal gambling by minors is the responsibility of every business owner. They can loose their business license. It's also responsibility of every citizen to report to authorities, if your so inclined do so instead of asking questions on postings.
