Then, about a week after she texted him, her brother replied and just asked for her Netflix login information– claiming he needed it for “bonding time.”
And in hindsight, she realizes she should have called her brother out on that. But they are siblings, after all, and she didn’t want to refuse him. So, she wound up handing over her streaming account.
More recently, though, she was at the park with her nieces and her younger daughter when one of her nieces asked to sit with her.
Afterward, her niece asked why they didn’t visit that much anymore, and she claimed her niece should be happy spending quality time with her parents.
It was at that point that her niece revealed her brother and sister-in-law never actually used the Netflix account for bonding time.
Instead, she learned that her brother and sister-in-law always leave her nieces to watch Netflix alone while they spend time with their baby son.
She was shocked by that and wound up telling her husband once she got home. Her husband was infuriated and shamed her brother for being a bad father– whether the twin girls were “biological or not.”
She really agreed with her husband, too, and ultimately decided to unsubscribe from Netflix altogether. And this wasn’t just about teaching her brother and sister-in-law a lesson, either.
By that point, her family just really didn’t use Netflix anymore. Her eldest also started complaining about how the company may ban account sharing– which would be bad since her daughter was attending college across the country and was the only person who somewhat used the account.
Her husband agreed with her idea, too, and pointed out how the subscription money could just go towards other more useful utilities.
So, they ended up allowing their Netflix subscription to expire. But it later created a ton of drama in her family.
