Dear Pay Dirt,
My wife and I recently cut the cord on our cable bill and switched to a full-time streaming service. About a month ago, we were at my father-in-law’s house visiting and the topic of our cable situation came up. I offered to let him test out our streaming service at his house (it allows multiple logins from different locations). Fast forward a couple of weeks and he’s now canceled his own cable service and using mine full-time. He hasn’t offered to pay us any money and has even commented about how much money he’s able to save now. What’s the limit for mooching, narcissist in-laws who don’t know boundaries? This seems past it.

Dear Cut My Cord,
Let the older man replace his cable if it’s not prohibiting you from watching the newest HBO series. Someone making a profile under a streaming service you’re already paying for with no additional costs to you isn’t a reason to start a war. Instead, try asking him to sign up for a different streaming service and then share the login with you. Then you’ll at least have something new to discuss during your next family dinner instead of dwelling on your disdain.
