Kicked my family off Amazon plan?

A Redditor shared a story about how they’ve been paying for an Amazon Prime membership for over 10 years, with no contribution from their family. While they didn’t mind at first, they began to feel resentful after noticing the accumulating costs and realizing no one had ever expressed gratitude for the fast deliveries.

The tipping point came when a family member made a highly inappropriate comment about the Redditor’s personal life. Feeling embarrassed and disrespected, the Redditor decided to change their Amazon password and stop sharing it. Now, they’re questioning whether they were in the wrong.

‘ Kicked my family off Amazon plan?’

So Ived been paying for prime for over 10 years now since I was 17. No one in my family has ever paid a single month and each of them order stuff every day. I haven’t really mind until I started crunching numbers and seen the accumulation total. As I seen that total not a single one of them has ever thanked me or even wondered how they get packages so fast.

And it wasn’t until last week that I ordered some cond*ms and contrac*ptive pills that one of them made a remark while I visited “oh so when were you going to tell us you got your gf pregnant”. The amount of shame and embarrassment soared within a second almost made my blood boil. I have no idea how someone can say that to my face and think it was totally okay. Me being the super nice and calm guy I just laughed it off and said today.

That has stuck with me for so long and I finally decided to change my password and not tell them the new code. All of them are asking for the code and the person who said that statement to me. I simply said, you have invaded my privacy and no one has ever asked to help with the payments, get your own account! It’s been a few hours and no response. Starting to feel bad about it but i felt like it had to be done. AITA.

These are the responses from Reddit users:

pixie-ann −  NTA they can always get their own membership. Do any of your family pay for anything regular for you such as insurance, phone, other memberships?

Advanced-Pear-8988 −  Yeah NTA- I’ve had Amazon prime since I was 18 and when I only paid $50 a year for being a student. My parents and sister use it but we take turns paying for it every year. Your family is a bunch of mooches

No-Trifle-6447 −  To late for this go around, but, you can set them up as ‘family’ under the account. Then each user has their own login, and no one can see anyone else’s order. Though after the bs comments in the OP, I’d not re-add anyone.

Neither_Building_306 −  They shouldn’t have been an a**hole about it if they wanted you to do them a favor. Invading your privacy like that was extremely rude. You buy contrac*ptive pills for your girlfriend on Amazon? I didn’t know you could do that. Can you still use your insurance?

PurpleAntelope3652 −  LOL whole ass grown adults that can’t afford their own prime?? Embarrassing. I was paying for it since I was in college. NTA!

distinguished-taco −  You are absolutely not the a hole! They can help pay and apologize for snooping or get their own, period! Good on you for booting them off of it!

BiscuitByrnes −  Your family doesn’t seem very bright. Why would you be purchasing contraception if your girlfriend is pregnant? That was out of line regardless, especially considering they’re invading the privacy of the person who’s paying for their prime services. Definitely not the ass.

Blizzy_missy −  Definitely NTA. You’ve been running a family Amazon charity for over a decade, and the one time you use YOUR OWN Prime for something personal, they respond with unwarranted sass? Nah, you’ve earned every right to revoke their VIP pass to your wallet.

earthman34 −  Ask your family when they’re going to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.

a_man_in_black −  “I canceled Amazon prime, how bout you pay for it and give me your password instead.” Nta.
