Once the subscription ended, her sister-in-law “went knocking” and apparently berated her for canceling. Her sister-in-law claimed that it was not her decision to make since her brother and sister-in-law still used the account also.
She wasn’t taking any of the comments, though, and actually just slammed the door in her sister-in-law’s face. Then, she claimed her sister-in-law needed to “self-reflect,” which caused her sister-in-law to scoff before storming off.
And ever since that incident, she has not seen her brother’s family. Apparently, her sister-in-law has been radio silent; meanwhile, her brother has only communicated with her through their parents.
According to her, this hasn’t just impacted her but has also impacted her own children. In particular, her 15-year-old son– who was promised a trip to a sporting event with her brother this past week. But her brother wound up canceling.
So while she really feels like she did the right thing, she has also begun to feel terrible seeing how upset her kids are.
“Not only that, but my nieces’ relationship with my brother and sister-in-law is ‘totally unsalvagable,’ according to my brother,” she explained. Apparently, her brother wrote that in a nasty Facebook post in which he blamed her and her husband for his now-tough family life.
Anyway, all of this has pushed her to self-reflect about whether she should have just remained complicit. She is even tempted to resubscribe to Netflix now just to make her family more peaceful.
So, in the wake of all of the drama, she has been left wondering whether canceling the Netflix subscription without telling her sister-in-law was really a jerky move.
Was she required to inform her brother and sister-in-law of the Netflix cancellation if they were just mooching off her account? Was it just a cherry on top that her nieces wouldn’t be stuck in front of the television and disregarded anymore? If you were in her shoes, would you resubscribe? Or would you leave the situation alone?
