Mooching siblings are not uncommon when you're in your younger years, but by the time you're in college, you should really be starting to get your own stuff. However, this mooching sister-in-law, a college student, begged her older brother and his wife to share their Netflix password with her so we could stream some shows every now and then. 

Then the married couple discovered that baby sis wasn't just watching her own shows, but adding her friend's devices and handing out their family streaming password like it didn't matter. But to the woman paying the Netflix bill every month, she wasn't about to let her billing plan get taken advantage of anymore, and kicked the girl out of her plan.

  • Learning the hard way in life is often the only way that the Golden Child of the family will ever figure things out. When you're suddenly left out in the cold on your own, and the Netflix password no longer connects, perhaps it's time to consider your own $8/month membership… Like an adult. Imagine! This college girl will think twice before taking advantage of her sister-in-law.

  • AITJ for telling my husband's sister she can't keep using my Netflix even though she's "family"?

  • I (29F) pay for all the streaming services in our house. My husband (31M) and I have separate finances, but we split household costs fairly.

  • His younger sister (24F) has been using our Netflix for over a year. At first, I didn't mind because it was "just her," but over time I noticed her profile had kids shows and multiple devices logged in. Turns out she

  • gave our login to her roommate, then her roommate's boyfriend, and now her boyfriend's little brother. When I confronted her, she said, "It doesn't cost you extra, why do you

  • care?" I told her I don't want strangers (who I don't even know) using something I pay for. She accused me of being stingy and "un- family-like." My husband thinks she's taking advantage, but he doesn't want to get in the middle.

  • So I changed the password. She blew up, saying I embarrassed her because now her "whole household" lost access and she had to explain it. She's been subtweeting about me, calling me selfish. AITJ for cutting her off?

  • Accomplished-Emu-591. Hasn't Netflix started going after subscribers who share their accounts with others? Tell her you had no choice because of the potential dire consequences and her sharing the account with others.

  • Financial.... Nta let them get their own services, seriously its always the users, who call you (selfish, heartless, gate keeping). Especially when the have to pay their own way

  • em1977. Selfish for not wanting her to give out a service she isn't even paying for. She should be embarrassed for acting like a brat.

  • murdocjones NTJ. Between her, the roommate, the BF, and the little brother I count 4 people who could easily kick in $6 a month each for a multi-screen subscription of their very own.

  • Melodic-Dark6545 NTJ at. Your SIL can "share" the things she paid for with whomever she wants, not the ones you where kind enough to share to save her some money. The one that embarrassed herself was her, for taking advantage of YOU
    via Melodic-Dark6545
  • So if she doesn't want to be "selfish", she has to pay her own account. After all "It doesn't cost her extra, why do she cares?" She just has to pay for HER things as we all do
