The result is a home where boundaries are a rumor, privacy is a myth, and every small childhood slip is cause for a household investigation. The older brother, now on constant alert, just wants to exist without a family press conference over his social life. The mom cycles through new flavors of silent treatment when her system meets resistance, leaving the dad to add "mediator" to his resume.

In this fun house, tattling pays, boundaries vanish, and the only thing being shared is everyone's business. The next family upgrade should be unlocked doors and a volume control.

11-year-old Lily tattles on her 13-year-old brother, Mark, nonstop, with mom always on her side, so dad takes his side and refuses to punish him just for wanting privacy: ‘He’s 13, and he deserves to have some space’
11-year-old sister, Lily, puts airport security to shame with how closely she monitors her 13-year-old brother, Mark. His every misstep goes into the little sister's mental notebook. The bed isn't made, the shoes are in the hallway, she calls in the mom, Sarah, faster than you can say family meeting. The younger sister ups the ante by broadcasting Mark's secret crush to anyone within shouting distance, turning privacy into folklore and childhood secrets into gossip.
Mother, Sarah, runs the home like a luxury day spa for tattling. Each complaint is met with approval, each fake-cry gets an instant response. The dad is pulled into the mess as the only adult in the room who thinks the older brother, Mark, deserves a door that closes and a few secrets to himself. For him, dodging the younger sister and the mom on a mission is now sport, with peace and fairness trailing somewhere behind.
