Turn off shared payment in family sharing

Apple you need to update the family plan, so that there can be multiple payment methods

2017 - no progress...

This is how family sharing works: read https://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/family-sharing/"Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending from a parent’s device. And share photos, a family calendar and more to help keep everyone connected."

Quantum,

The basic model of Family Sharing is to have one or more children who are financially dependent on, and under the supervision of, an adult Family Organizer.

Family Sharing does not seem to fit your situation, so you may wish to discontinue using it.

I have the same problem as like all the features apart from shared payment. It would be a shame to have to turn it off for this reason. Shared photos, find friends and shared calendars are all really useful, but with my family being me, my wife and my 14yo kid, we all have our own payment methods and don't need to share this.

I hope Apple make this simple feature available. It seems like a bit of an oversight to make it 'all or nothing' when some features are really useful.

I have the same problem:

My daughter gets her allowance on a pre-paid debt card. We live in a very rural area and most shopping is done online anyway. This teaches her financial responsibility as well as not bothering us if she wants to buy music, games, or in-app purchases with her allowance. I understand if not sharing payment methods means not sharing music etc and I'm ok with it (my wife and I don't listen to her music anyway). I would really like her on the family calendar, photo album, etc.
