So Netflix finally started enforcing the password sharing thing and now my 12 year old can't watch shows at his friend's house. Kind of annoyed because we're paying for the premium plan. Has anyone else dealt with this? Are you guys adding the kids to your own account or just letting them use tablets with downloaded shows?
Just caved and got the extra profile. It stings on the wallet but honestly it's probably worth it to not have the password fight every week. At least they let you keep the main account.
Same issue here with my kids' cousins. We just added another profile to our plan and it costs less drama than fighting the system. Not ideal but it works.
Yeah, Netflix is being annoying about this one. I just bit the bullet and got my own account at a separate address since my older kids need their own profiles anyway.
It's frustrating but honestly this is just how things are going now. We ended up just sharing our main account among the immediate family and called it a day.
We ended up getting the 12 year old their own profile with a smaller selection of stuff. Mostly solved the problem except now my wife complains about how much of the TV time goes to kid shows. Worth it though.

This is ridiculous. I've got two kids on my account and we were grandfathered in, but I get why they're cracking down. Pretty annoying that the family plan is basically a different tier now.
