This wasn’t a problem when I was ripping the DVDs

, and tons of great shows just so that I could catch up on a crime drama to discuss with my teenager.

In my hopes and dreams, this is the best I thought TV could be for my family. Great writing, acting, and storytelling that I could discuss with my kid. An entry into a larger discussion of life and society and the way people treat each other. If Netflix has its way, that's all about to end, and for no reason that I can discern. From what I’ve learned, my kid will have to watch on his iPad or iPhone when he’s not under my Wi-Fi IP umbrella. No more using his TV. He doesn’t like watching the good shows on a small screen, so he’ll just stop watching Netflix, and I’ll just stop paying for the family plan.This makes no sense. I pay for multiple screens.

My house is a place. I just moved, so it’s not even the same place it was last year. My kid is my kid. He’s not the same kid he was when I first paid Netflix, he’s even better now. What does Netflix want? Does it want more money from me, a single Dad trying to give my kid some great shows and movies that we can watch and discuss together? I pay a lot for all of my streaming services, but frankly, it all blurs together. Netflix would be smart to make sure it doesn’t stick out. In this case, sticking out would mean it gets sanded down. All told, my streaming service bill is more than $100 per month, and I’m fairly agnostic about how I spend it.
