I am the family organizer, and my wife is listed as parent/guardian. Sometimes screentime requests and app purchase requests come to me and sometimes they go to her. How do I control this?

Hi emsilver,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you're seeing Ask To Buy requests going to one device and not the other. We're happy to look into this with you.
To start, make sure you're not missing those requests. Prior to them being approved, check if you're able to see them:
If you miss an Ask to Buy notification, you can find the request in Notification Center on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If you still don't see your Ask to Buy requests, check which Apple ID you're signed in with, check your Family Sharing settings, and make sure that you're on a supported device.
See more about that here: If Ask to Buy isn't working - Apple Support
Some other steps to resolve Ask to Buy not working as working as expected would be:
Thanks.
Only my iPhone 12 pro max is singed in as me as the family organizer. Shouldn't they only come to the family organizer. My device has the latest iOS and has been restarted. No issues at all on WiFi.
why am I not getting the request but my spouse is
