From the article below. If they are 18 or older, you can't turn on Ask to Buy.


Who can use Ask to Buy


Familes can use Ask to Buy after they set up Family Sharing. The family organizer can turn on Ask to Buy for any family member who isn't an adult. It's on by default for any children under 13. You'll be asked to set up Ask to Buy when you invite anyone under 18 to your family group.1


If a family member turns 18 and the family organizer turns off Ask to Buy, the family organizer can't turn it on again.
