[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all the responses so far!  The account is mine - in my name, handled by me, so my husband isn't involved in this. I know SIL didn't ask him to use the account, and I'd rather not get him involved in this admittedly small (petty?!) issue. My SIL and I have had a history of tension, with periods of amiability. My kid is in preschool and has no idea about passwords or what Netflix is. SIL is not hurting for money, as she and her husband are both professionals who make good salaries. Her kid is in preschool (it's been interesting to see the huge amount of tv the kid watches, which is apparent from the number of new shows that come up every day on the "Recently Watched" section).

Since PPs asked, here is another small example or two of SIL's cheapness:  when she buys coffee by the pound, she gets the most expensive kind but then writes down on the bag the code for the cheapest kind, so the cashier charges her less.  She gets upset and angry if she is expected to pay for anything when everyone goes out, such as going out for breakfast, even though the ratio of our treating them to them treating us is about 35:1. SIL admits she is cheap and even takes pride in it.

Had she asked to share the Netflix, then the issue would be more about comfort level in cheating the company, but the first issue is that she just helped herself without asking.  If I had to guess, I'd bet she thinks we wouldn't notice she has accessed the account daily since our visit.[/quote]Believe me or not, but no knocks here OP. It's just that I knew there was some history here. If you and SIL got along  I don't think this would bother you so much. Doesn't cost you anything, doesn't affect your ability to use the service. However, if it bothers you, by all means, just change the password. It would make interesting reading if she said something to you and you posted about it.[/quote]
