Can't add a Parent account to my Xbox One

What if I create a new parent account under my family group, then re-add my initial primary account as a child account? Is that possible?

Surely there's a workaround here for this. I can't be the only one with this predicament.

I recently got an Xbox One X.

I'm 17. But whenever I try create an avatars, watch YouTube or even Netflix, it says i have to add a parent account. I don't get why I need to.

However i did try to add a parent account, but somehow, all it does is create another account on my xbox. And still asks for a parent account.

How can I get rid of this parent stuff?

Hello im responding in reference to your situation. The problem of the parent profile is that you can add multiple parent accounts. But one is gonna be controlled by your first account.

It says i need a parent account to change my child account to a parent account but i dont have a parent account and it wont let me add one.

More information: On my parents account (not sure for others here and soz for the spam by me) it shows me as having no if not little restrictions. I double checked it. I even changed it back and forth. That was on the 360. Back on the xbox One on the other
hand, I still can't play the same games I did and also my parents account is different from 360 to ONE so it would be very difficult to add.

I have $10.87 in my Microsoft account. I try to buy $5.99 Minecoins through Minecraft on Xbox One and it sends it to my parent for permission. When my parent approves, it tells them they have to add money to my account.
