This post is part of my ongoing series as part of the Netflix #StreamTeam. I am compensated for my participation in the program. Opinions of the shows and service are 100% m own.
In our house we have two kids with very different tastes in entertainment. Eva is getting older and starting to watch more shows with real people in them. Andrew is four and he loves cartoons and silly stuff. He absolutely loves Masha and the Bear. Eva is a bigger fan of shows like Girl Meets World and Fuller House. Eva is also very exciting about all the episodes of Cupcake Wars.So, when we cannot agree on what to watch as a family we go with the Yugo Method. That means You Go then I Go. Each of the kids get their choice of a show and then it switches to the other child. However, there are many more choices on Netflix that both kids agree upon. This month Netflix has created some new playlists for siblings. There are many different kinds of siblings and sibling combinations. Maybe you have a large gap between the kids’ ages. Maybe one child is a bit of an imp, Like Andrew and the other is a sweetheart, like Eva. And then sometimes you just want to have everyone compromise. Three new playlists will help you cover those scenarios. Take a look at these playlists.

Must Watch TV for Older Siblings
Whether long distance or right next door, these days, adult siblings are also bonding over what they’re watching. Difference is you’re no longer fighting over the remote and are instead championing your favorite Netflix title to get your brother or sister hooked on the same shows. Here are a few that are sure to win you some big-time street cred. Click here for the full collection.
I’ve watched all episodes of each of these series and enjoyed each of them. I love Master of None, Aziz Ansari is hilarious. The Ranch was pretty funny, too. I liked seeing Aston Kutcher and Danny Masterson back together again. I just finished watching the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt the other day and while the second season wasn’t perfect it got better toward the end of the season especially with one very special guest star. Actually there were a few very good guests this season.
Now, if all those choices and playlists still have not brought peace and serenity to the kids then you might want to use a Fortune Teller. If you are a child of the 80’s then you certainly remember these things. Well, Netflix has you covered. They have provided downloadable Fortune Tellers to use with show selection. You can use the pre-made one or the blank one.
Cool! Imagine that if we do not have YouTube and Netflix, It’s so hard to every parents to split their TV for their Children 😀
