I need some input!!!

I agree with stonecold; you guys say its none of her business, but when it involves family members and the taking of money from your parents, as the responsible older sibling it becomes your business....

the whole point of this thread is that Reds sister is sucking money from her parents for school she is not doing. Bottom line its the parents money and they need to be informed on how its spent or wasted.

:agree: I see it this way! You blow the whistle on your sister or you wait and until you parents find out on their own and they also find out that you knew this was happening! Who are you betraying right now by not saying anything....BOTH OF THEM! Your sister is living a lie on your parents dime and will continue to do so until someone does something about it! It takes a bigger person to step up and say something than to turn their back on the situation!

I think you should tell you parents - i would have KILLED to have someone foot my college bill, she doesn't realize all the advantages she has been given.

Red,

The little sister again.

Well, in general per past posts and stuff the issue seems to be "basic decision making skills"

She is very erratic in how she makes decisions on a daily basis and eventually it snow balls into bad decisions on the big stuff.

Because you are so great on the little stuff, you get good breaks on the big stuff, and because it seems so basic and simple to you it is irritating when you see such harm that it does in others lives and how it effects them.

Almost 100% bet you sister is not aware of such stuff, and it is not even on her radar screen as to the effects.

Really have two choices, say nothing or talk to sis.

If you talk to sis, do not bring up money, use an issue like respecting her parents, better to let them know now, rather than later.

Give her a time frame of week or two to let them know and see what happens, if she doesn't tell, give her one last chance.

this way gives you a little lee-way into seeing how things go with minimum of drama.

Unfortunately it's fairly standard pattern for young adults.

She's smart and a good kid, so hopefully she will eventually learn, like most of us.

Hoped That Helped
Good Luck
