I own a blue ray player and am sure that I have some discs, but we never watch non-Hallmark movies.

Since I moved in over 5 years ago we watched "Hidden Figures" and "Wonder woman."

I don't remember watching much more, unless I had a girlfriend, but they always came with streaming services.

Then I insisted on watching an actual movie on date night.

I bought Mom several movies that she never opened, but I learned that if I want to watch a movie as a family I need to buy them for Mom.

My brother has a box of movies that he refuses to open.

Is it illegal to stream a movie from a random server if I own a physical copy?

For the second week in a row Mom cannot get my brother's SLP, who has worked with him on and off for like 12 years, to connect, and somehow this is my fault.

It is my fault that the woman she insists on having do speech, even though she often cancels or no-shows, cancels or no-shows, when I kept trying to persuade Mom to let me work with my brother officially.

Mom said that I would, the next time that the SLP tried to change providers, but Mom told the SLP, the SLP said "That is unethical," and I have had this nightmare since--plus every other SLP asking me "What part of that is unethical?"

I think this is an example of reading between the lines. In no way is it unethical, but the SLP didn't want to lose occasional business, so she made up an excuse.

Edit: Mom just called the SLP for at least the third time.

There have been times that I lost track of time or something came up and I was unable to reach out to my client's family, but I don't think anyone ever reached out more than once.

They might send a text and then either I apologize and try to see them or they decide "I guess we are not having speech today."

This is highly unprofessional and I have been planning on reaching out to school speech therapists to see if anyone can pick up my clients. I would say that I work for two agencies, but there is another which pays better and seems to find more clients.

She has also been sued for back pay and one of her therapists complained about the difficulty she had being paid right.

Should I mention that?
