Ds watching my netflix at ex's AIBU

[lurchersrule]

I have just sat down to watch the Crown and can't as ds is watching a film on my Netflix account at Ex's house (his dad). Ex is a very cheap person and doesn't really work - sees himself as a writer or something and me as loaded because I'm a teacher!

I have rung ds in quite an irritated way and texted ex as well. It's ridiculous imo. They have 30 mins left of their film apparently. I want to set up a new account so that ds can't access it - is that UR? Don't want to be a cow and I feel bad for him as ex has put him in an awkward position. He's 13 and I was thinking of upgrading so that more than one device can be on it as ds2 has very different tastes from us, but don't want to do that just to benefit ex... What would you do? I'm so pissed off now - please distract me! Ex pays nothing toward the dc btw...

I'd upgrade to an account that allows multiple simultaneous uses, but I would be annoyed at your freeloading ex. However, ultimately it's about not depriving your DS. I have premium because there's 4 of us, with 2 away at uni. Compared to the likes of Sky it's a complete bargain. I used to have single use though, and I did change the password when my husband moved out.

It’s “only a few quid” to upgrade - it’s also only a few quid for your ex to get his own if he/your son wants it that badly when he’s there.

You don’t need to bankroll him anymore.

I think you are massively unreasonable to be annoyed at your DS.

Upgrade. It is for your kids not your ex.

My DS has gone to live at his Dads who is now not paying me maintenance and asked for my Amazon Prime password the other day. I think its cheeky as fuck I really do. I didnt give him it I told him to ask his Dad for his.

I’d be fine with DS watching the film with his dad but I’d be wary that he’ll leave it logged in and your ex will start to use it. He should have asked you first and then you could have said no because you were going to use it yourself. Do not upgrade so that he can use it at your ex’s unless you want him to be able to use it at the same time as you while he’s at your house. If you get multiple accounts, your ex will definitely use it when your DS isn’t there!

I wouldn't upgrade, I'd explain to your son he can only watch it at yours
