My Parents In Law Keep On Using Our Netflix To Watch He-Man And Christmas Movies, And Change Our Watchlists Because They “Struggle With Tech”
My husband shares both his Netflix and Prime accounts with his parents and pays for it. It first started with his parents using his Netflix instead of their own profile and even trying to charge not-included film to his credit card on Prime . He asked them to stop but they say they cannot figure it out so he added a pin and in brackets that it’s not their profile. We thought the problem was solved, but then I noticed they started using mine instead. I hadn’t looked at Netflix for maybe a week and noticed today they apparently had a watch marathon – my entire history & front page is just He-Man, war films and Christmas movies. The algorithm is completely messed up at this point. Needless to say I got a pin now too and a note in brackets.
Boundaries with in-laws can also be very different depending on your culture. Perinatal therapist Dr. Zann explains that for people of color, the word ‘boundaries’ might sound like rejection and disrespect toward their community values.
“Consider not calling it a boundary’. Using psychology/therapy speak may be confusing, especially for those from immigrant backgrounds or non-western cultures,” Dr. Zann points out. “Express your needs, of course, but do it in a way that your family will understand.”
