I used to post on this forum pretty regularly.  Posts were usually about my wife's youngest adult son who was a beast to be around.  Long story short, he became so abusive and hateful toward me that I've been completely disengaged from him for about five years.  Life is peaceful.  My wife maintains her relationship with him while I happily don't have one.  My wife and I have separate finances.  Things are much better than they were when her son was a wrecking ball on our relationship.

Like most folks, we have a Netflix account.  My wife's adult sons have been mooching from the account for years.  They've both had their own profiles on the account.  These guys are 30 and 23 years old.  I pay for the Netflix account.  It's bugged me for a while that I pay for Netflix access for her son who has been nothing but angry and hateful towards me.  A few weeks ago, I found a strange expense on my bank statement.  The only place that bank card was linked to where anyone else could get at it is Netflix.  I logged into my Netflix account to see that people had been logging in and streaming from all over the country,  They were streaming from New York, Virginia, Montana, and Utah.  I know that some of these places are where my wife's youngest son has online friends.  My wife has mentioned her son wanting to visit some of these places before.  My suspicion is that Junior has been giving out the account login information and his online buddies have been helping themselves to our Netflix.  

After finding all of this, I immediately changed the Netflix login password.  I signed out all devices.  I also deleted the profiles of my wife's two sons from the account.  They are grown men and can start covering the expense of their own Netflix.  I expected to hear gnashing of teeth once the freeloading came to an end.  I explained to my wife that I found a weird expense on my bank statement, logged into Netflix to see that people had been connecting from places we have no connection to, and so reset the password and signed out all devices.  There was no pushback from my wife.  I expected there to be some because she had been hooking her sons up with Netflix as long as we've been together.  She was fine with it all and understood.  She thought it was a good idea.  I'm sure she is getting a lot of whining from her sons about how they can't watch Netflix now, but she hasn't mentioned any of that to me.  I should mention that I also have two sons.  Neither of them has ever been on our Netflix account.  They have never even asked to be added to it.  We now only have two profiles on the account, one for the house and one for the upstairs guest bedroom.  

One more baby step in the SKIDs journey toward manhood.
