[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I guess we have a sibling code, especially now that we're adults. I suppose if there was something my parents really needed to know, I might tell, but it's hard to imagine what such a situation would be.

For example, when I was in college and my sister in high school, one of her friends told me she thought my sister was anorexic. I told my parents so they could get her help. She was mad, but too bad. She was a minor and her actions were hurting her.

Now, we're adults. A couple years ago, sister told me she had run up a few thousand dollars in credit card debt. I gave her some grief and helped her figure out a payment plan, but did not tell my parents. She was an adult with a house and job and there was no reason my parents needed to know. All that would accomplish would be them being disappointed and yelling at her.

So, OP, I guess I think you were wrong. Unless you have some reason to believe your sister is being abused, it's not really your place to tell your parents she has a boyfriend. Also, I don't see how she did "something bad" as you say. You may not like some of her choices, but they're not "bad." They're just different from what you would prefer.[/quote]
