OneNetflixsubscriber wants her younger sister to chill out — and help out.

A 20-year-old woman, who recently changed herNetflix passwordin order to take away her sister’s access to her account in their shared home, turned toReddit’s “Am I the A——?” forumto detail their sibling squabble.

The woman, who is in college and works part-time to pay for her education and bills, revealed that she purchased an “individual Netflix” plan — thestandard planthat allows you to connect two devices to stream.

“Here comes the problem, since this is an individual account, I won’t be able to use it if she’s using it,” she continued, adding that her sister is starting to ignore house chores because she’s watching Netflix.

“I am left with all the house chores because of it,” she wrote. “I told her plenty of times to wash the dishes, fold the clothes, and clean the house, at least mop it. She did nothing of those things and I got so pissed I told her to do things and she started yelling and telling me things like I am not doing house chores (I do it, I always do).”

After her sister yelled, the woman changed herNetflixpassword.

The majority of Redditors sided with the woman and her decision.

“Obviously NTA [not the a——-],” one person commented. “You pay for it, it’s your individual account and you want to use it, and nothing else is relevant. She can get her own account.”

Another commenter gave a more holistic response, replying, ”It’s kind of her own fault she’s being blocked from it, to be honest. When you’re good to people there’s less of a chance of people blocking you from things.”
