Hello Konster3,


From what you've shared you're looking to add a relative to your family sharing. The best steps to take for adding a family member, adult or child, can be found here: Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support


On your iPhone or iPad with iOS 16 or later

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Family. 
3. Tap Add Member .
4. If your child doesn't have an Apple ID, tap Create an Account for a Child. But if your child already has an Apple ID, tap Invite People. They can enter their Apple ID password on your device to accept the invitation.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up parental controls, location sharing, and more.


If you continue to experience an issue please share the following.


  • If you see an error or alert, what is the exact text?
  • Are you able to add others to your family sharing?


These details can help facilitate additional replies from the community.


Regards.
