iTunesAs far as I know Apple haven't said why (these are user-to-user forums), only that you can't - you can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe in the future it will be possible : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Sep 24, 2014 5:20 AM in response to Olivier Barrellierby JohnnyG76,as a workaround for now, set that account's birthday to a date that sets them as a child (pre-18). Nobody will ever know (well except you and that adult)

That's a silly statement. I searched for this topic because I have to set up an iPad for my 80 year old grandmother from a non-english speaking background. I trust my grandmother in many aspects, however, I do not trust her armed with my credit card and an iPad, she'd probably end up by out the entire applestore and every single in-app purchase.

Family Sharing is primarily designed for cases having one adult (the Organizer) who is taking financial responsibility for one or more dependent minors.
It really does not work out all that well in other situations, such as yours.
