Always something...
So I ordered Amazon and am enjoying it so far. DH made a comment this morning saying that we need to make sure that YSS cannot buy anything on it. I told him that he should know not to buy anything without asking. He said well you know how kids are! LOL I said well I know how you kids are and they need to be taught things better. He makes excuse after excuse that it is ok for his kids to do something and there is no consequences because we should just let them be themselves.

You should make sure SS can't
You should make sure SS can't buy anything.... cause you will end up paying and he will not be punished.
Yeah the Amazon account is in
Yeah the Amazon account is in my name Acra. I just thought it was dumb that DH said well kids will be kids. Ok well the kid should know better not to buy anything on one of my accounts!! It's a shame that DH make every excuse in the book to let SS "be himself" whatever the hell that means. I need a bottle of tequila skids were away for one week now they are coming back again for the weekend at least it's only for 2 days.
DH warned you... he's going
DH warned you... he's going to tell SS the details and you are going to pay
LOL I am going to make sure
LOL I am going to make sure when I get home that he cannot get into my account.
I need to check because he
I need to check because he has an XBOX one and can download the app on it if he wants to but I need to check to make sure that he cannot log into my account since he cannot be trusted not to buy anything. DH and I decided to get rid of the cable altogether and just have internet to save money so I already had Netflix and just got Amazon prime and Sling TV. SS is going to go ape shit when he gets to the house today and realizes that there is no longer cable so he only has Netflix and we can set up the Sling TV for him on his XBOX one as for Amazon that is a no go.
SS got into our account
SS got into our account through XBox 360. We were lucky that he only spent $25 before I caught it.
Did he know your user name
Did he know your user name and pw?
DH had linked it when he
DH had linked it when he bought some game several months earlier. We didn't even realize it stored the information until SS got on DH's Xbox profile instead of his own to play a game. He bought an upgrade package and another game. Luckily it was a cheap game. The one DH had bought was over $60.
Same situ here. Considering
Same situ here. Considering blocking data, wi-fi & pc after 10pm next school year if there's any more "too tired to get myself to school on time" from an unemployed 17 year old.
I have Amazon, and in order
I have Amazon, and in order to watch videos, you need to log in with your username and password. Just don't give either of those to him, and make sure they are NOT the same as the netflix.
Ok so if he downloads the app
Ok so if he downloads the app on his Xbox he wont be able to get into it unless he knows my user name and pw.
" they need to be taught
" they need to be taught things better"
It's not always a case of not being taught nor not being perfectly clear in the teachings. While I understand your husband makes excuses and does not issue consequences , don't also forget kids do do stupid immature temptation things. Even the best taught kids.
Make sure the children can not access your account. Period.
Ok thanks guys for the
Ok thanks guys for the info...
Meh. I see this as an ounce
Meh. I see this as an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of pain.
Our Amazon account is password protected for my kiddo and for the skids, as are all our other accounts (Netflix, Hulu, etc.)--and our WiFi is, too. My DD texts me to make sure she's allowed to have iced tea when I'm not around, so it's not that I don't trust her, it's that I don't want to set her up to screw up.
Your daughter was taught
Your daughter was taught manners and class then nengooseus because my skids don't ask for anything they just take, take, take and want more and misbehave.
That's terrible. I can't
That's terrible. I can't imagine. Oh wait. I can. My exSO kids routinely used his info when er they could. One of them once obtained SO's hotel membership number (I think he left card laying around when she visited) and she tried to use points that he accumulated, tried to get free hotel stays.
My skids don't do stuff like that. We shared Netflix with YSD for awhile but it was no big deal. But also my DH knows better.
Is Crunchy Roll an App?

Your husband knows his kid.
Your husband knows his kid. He knows that even if he is told no.. he has impulse issues that mean he could go ahead and do it anyway.
Think of it this way.
You have a loaded gun in your home. Do you just put it on your bedside table and tell the kids to not touch it? Or, do you put it in a safe place where kids can't access it?
Obviously the only responsible thing is the latter. Children should always be taught guns aren't toys and to not touch one if they find it. The reality is that some kids will touch it anyway.. even if taught not to. The reality is that kids are killed because adults leave guns where they can be found by kids.
So, do you "lock up" your Amazon account? or do you set it for "one click purchases on every device in the house and just hope for the best?"
I am thinking that you back up teaching the kid "no" by making it impossible for him to do it anyway.
Your husband isn't making excuses for the kid really... he is warning you that even if you think that children know right from wrong... they still screw up. So if you want there to be no screw up.. you should make sure.
My BS actually ordered
My BS actually ordered something from Amazon once from my phone.
Difference is, he was 2.
A package arrived on my doorstep. It was a training potty.
I was like, "damn, I guess he's ready to potty train!"
LOL it's not funny that he
LOL it's not funny that he ordered it it's just funny that he ordered a training potty...
I thought the same thing!
I thought the same thing! Thank goodness it was an $8 potty and not, like, a flat screen TV or something. I definitely tightened up security after that
Did it work? The potty, not
Did it work?
The potty, not the security?
