Hi Cocoanak,
If they are over 18 and Ask to Buy is disabled, the only way to stop the purchases when they are still part of the family, is to disable purchase sharing:
"Turn off purchase sharing
- See your Purchase Sharing settings in Settings on your iPhone or iPad or in System Settings on your Mac.
- Turn off purchase sharing:
- On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap Stop Purchase Sharing.
- On your Mac, click Turn Off, then click Stop Purchase Sharing."
