Hi Cocoanak,
Here is some relevant information from Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support:
"Who can use Ask to Buy
Families 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."
In other words, if you've never set up Ask to Buy before they turned 18, it cannot be enabled. Additionally, if it was on before they turned 18 and then it was turned off, it cannot be enabled again.
If you'd like to provide feedback for Apple about this feature, the best place to do so would be at this link:
