I’m sorry if I have been unable to explain what I meant. The problem is due to having 2 separate apple IDs: one for ICloud and one for purchases apps and so forth. When I set up family sharing, it automatically assumed that my ICloud ID was also to be shared for purchases. But that of course isn’t the case as my purchases are done with a different Apple ID. Nothing in the family setup makes it easy to separate the two. I finally accomplished it but i can’t exactly remember how as it was very much by hours of stabbing in the dark. It’s not right that it should be so difficult.
Anyway, thanks for your time to attempt to help & I’m sorry I wasn’t able to clearly explain my dilemma.
