I've also found out after the fact that the night of a sleepover that the parents went out for the night and left the kids with a nanny and I didnt know about it ahead of time. In any of these scenarios did I get annoyed that the parents didnt tell me this beforehand.
So if it has nothing to do with the sibling being 14 or old enough to watch the kids, my experience is the same as yours. You have to be able to trust the people you leave your children with to make decisions in this area. If they mess up however then yes, that's cause for maybe a conversation around it but more of a learning for future and if you can trust their judgement.
I completely disagree with this PP. I would always clarify with the other parent who is staying with the kids. If anything, for emergency contact purposes!
