Found out my dad co-signed a $15k loan for my sister without telling me

I was going through some old mail at his house last weekend and found a bank statement showing he's been paying $340 a month for 2 years now. He never mentioned it once. Has anyone else had a parent secretly bail out a sibling and keep it quiet?

Honestly my sister's name is literally scribbled all over our family's financial mess too so I feel you on this. Last year I found out my mom secretly paid off her $2k credit card bill while I was eating ramen for a month trying to save up for a used car. Ngl it stings extra hard when you realize you're the one who gets the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" speech while your sibling gets a free ride.

Wait, do we have the same mom? That bootstraps thing hit way too close to home.

Wait wasn't your sister the one who got the free ride though?
