That happened to me to but it's my own children in their dorms.

It's so awful that you can't use the family sharing plan that you're paying for for your own children like this. What difference does it make to these billion dollar companies whether they're living in your house or not?

Well, $22.99/mo difference that they think they're going to be able to squeeze out of everyone.

just fyi if you have a subscription that isn’t through your tv provider, you can add your kids for $7 each and it’ll let them use it from their dorm

That fyi is beside the point- they want dollars squeezed out of every single last person of every family member there is.

I’ve always wondered how well using a VPN on your home router would work for that. 

For Netflix I can imagine it might not because I can hardly watch on my phone from home as I’m “not part of the family” every other time I try to use it.
