Netflix. Dd boyfriend using my account

[Itsacebeingme]

My dd has just started seeing this lad. He is currently unemployed, still lives with parents. She was over at his last week and signed into Netflix on his TV. When leaving she didn't sign out as it seemed mean. I'm unsure really. If I change the password I can stop him continuing but don't want to embarrass dd by doing this. Also if she goes back again it will just be repeated. Wwyd? Ignore or get him signed out? We go on holiday soon ourselves and will be using Netflix whilst there some evenings.

But this is the equivalent of raiding the OP’s bookshelf and DVD collection without permission

More like dd leaving ops book at his house and him reading it.
Hardly something to be bothered about.

OP pays for it on the premise her DD uses it and no one else.

Ots pure cheeky fuckery to use someone else’s streaming service without their permission.

As caerdydd12 says:

Change the password then and tell your daughter if she can't be trusted not to give out the password then she can't have it.

Or, you log her in to Netflix on her phone/tablet so she'll have no need to know the password.

Ots pure cheeky fuckery to use someone else’s streaming service without their permission.

*I mean would I do it. No. Her dd may have given him permission.

Could I get worked up over it. No way.*

We were sharing my sons account in different households. We got chucked off a couple of months ago and can't sign back in off his home network. The premium 6 screens account has now been cancelled, their loss. But if it's still working at your daughters BF house why on earth wouldn't you let him? She'll benefit from it too if she spends time there.

you can just sign everyone out - easy

Netflix has said it'll charge for accounts not at the sane address soon, so change the password and advise your dd you won't be funding additional licences. End of.

People are saying it’s the same as lending a book or a DVD. It isn’t. It’s the same as allowing him/them free rein of all your bookcases and your DVDs.
I’d be particularly wary as it’s through your sky account.

@TrishM80 I'm glad my parents didn't take your attitude otherwise I'd have missed out on 40 years with a wonderful man who went on to have a great career!

I have it through Sky too but have never had to contact Sky. If I want to watch on a new device, I just start watching on the new device.

Just use your words. Tell DD you're not happy that he freeloads on your account, then go in your settings and kick off his device.
Change the password and don't give it to your DD?

As for sharing. Both my DCs have left home. Up to now both were sharing our account as they had when they lived here. I got a note to say i need to pay for 1, so i do. But the other one carries on using the account with no fuss. Weird. But I'd pay for her too if it came up

I guess because it's polite to ask?

If you wanted to upgrade the number of screens you can watch at one time you have to co tact Sky, it’s a bit of a pain!

Log him out.

'Oh, Netflix changed their T&Cs recently, so you can't share details anymore. What do you want for tea?'

It’s so strange isn’t it that some accounts have been flagged for multi-house use and some haven’t! You’d think Netflix would have more sophisticated technology!

I disagree. As you can't watch lots of things at once.

I shared mine with my daughter who lives away and I was the one who got kicked off. I just changed it to a cheaper package and paid for the £5 for her. It wasn't much more expensive.

Her boyfriend is in a house with at least three adults including him. Surely they can pay for it between them?

It would be different if you knew him, but you don't.

Anyone who is officially ‘unemployed’ is going to be 18 or over. I think it’s probably irrelevant what you would ‘let’ your daughter do anyway. How do you propose to prevent two legal adults from having a relationship if they want to?

Also, if your daughter was dating someone and he lost his job, what are you going to do? Force her to end the relationship? Would you expect your DD’s own partner to dump her if she got made redundant? Do you vet all your DD’s potential boyfriends to determine whether they work enough hours to be allowed to shag her?

Assuming your dd is an adult?
If so she can date whoever she likes.

Regarding being on holidays Netflix will ask you the question and, if so, will send a temporary password on the mail used to set your account. I'm in France and it happened in my household 3 weeks ago. I was using my adult daughter's account at the time. We now have our own account.

🤣🤣🤣

Controlling parents often end up with limited contact, and definitely zero say.

"Let"

How exactly would you stop them? I'd assume as he's unemployed and not at college he's at least 18, and as op didn't say her dd was underage it's likely she's at least 16.

This is what we do, It wouldn't bother me.

Agree with others. Change the password. Try to get through to your DD that she can aspire higher than an unemployed waster.

Why are you so against sharing?

Don't other people share things with you in return?

Exactly. And a book or DVD is a one off expense unlike a Netflix account.
