Don't want the little turd at my house after stealing my netflix

After finding out last night that SD got my Netflix password and her and BM ordered a DVD account on it I do not want to see her face. I am still highly upset. I still can't believe BM had the testicles to ask to keep the Netflix. DH hasn’t told hasn't told SD this yet. But we have removed the TV, laptop, and radio from her room. She will be grounded from the time she gets her tonight until the weekend is up. But if we tell her she will try to stay at BM's house and not want to come. And BM doesn't think she did anything wrong. I am baffled she thinks that SD was confused and thought that DH got the Netflix for her because they don't have cable at BMs house. And even if he didn't he should let her keep it because he loves her. She keeps trying to reach DH in hopes of guilting him into letting her keep the Netflix. You know what bothers me is that during their divorce DH agreed to let her keep the house and the car that were already paid off. So she pays no rent or car payments. She gets a sizable amount of child support and she works but yet she can't afford an 8 dollar Netflix? DH and I work hard for everything we have and she thinks we should also pay to keep her entertained. When SD gets here she will bitch and moan about being grounded and why did we take all of "Her" stuff out of her room (which we paid for everything in that room) and how she wants to call BM and go home. I am just going to disengage the best I can and let DH handle her. I really don't want to see her pudgy face right now.

Good for you and DH! And, yes, disengage if SD melts down about this and let him handle her. Go do what you wanna do this weekend and take care of yourself, whatever you need to do to not have to be around her. If she really doesn't understand why she's in trouble, I don't blame you for not wanting to hear the nonsense that will come out of her mouth.

Aside from them being your kids, they are also just using your netflix account as is.

The OPs SD stole her password for her netflix account and added DVD services to a streaming only account, jacking up the fees she was being charged by an additional $7.99/month. If I had a kid and they did that, heads would still roll, because that's unacceptable. Skid or bio, it's unacceptable to do crap like that.

The dfference is your kids didn't add a dvd account without your permission and get them sent to their dad's house. I'm sure you would not be ok with that.

I agree with how you are handling it. Cut it off, change the password and let DH deal with the fall out. Stay the hell out of it, but do not ever trust her again.

I think she should also pay you back the difference. It should come out of her allowance (if she gets one) or she can work it off doing additional chores

Remember, passPHRASE, not password.

For instance, you can use this phrase:

My Stepdaughter is a thief and her BM is too!

and turn it into a passphrase like this:

mSDiaT&hBMi2

nobody will EVER guess it }:)

I wouldn't want SD there either, but it really is on your DH to discipline her. I'd be on the phone calling netflix to add more safeguards to your account. And I'd gather up all the documentation on this that you can find so you can so you can press charges on BM and/or use it against her in the future.

I would also type up an invoice for BM detailing the expenses she incurred due to this.
