    How do I order something from Amazon with my step mom's account and then not let her notice that I got it? Like, will she get an email or see the package before me?

    Yes, she will get the email as it's her account. To avoid this, simply create your own Amazon account and link a prepaid credit card to it. You will get the receipt as well as linking devices such as Fire tablets and Amazon Echo devices.

    Find a good time to talk about it. Ask one parent at a time their opinion on lizards and geckos. Once the time is good, tell them you ordered online a lizard without thinking and its coming very soon. Make sure to be calm and tell them you will pay for all the expenses.
  • Question
    What if my parents would ask who is the package for?

    Just say that you bought something online using your own money, but forgot to ask for permission.
