Child's Friend Request-Family Account

What do you mean "add herself/himself" as a friend?

Usually, friends are "mutual", which means one can request to be a friend, and only if your kid allows that person in their friend list, they become friends.

You as a parent can have your child's account added to your adult account via
https://account.microsoft.com/family and set your child's account up so you will have to approve friend requests as a parent.

Did some digging. To answer your question: sign into the child's profile and then go into the friends list, there you should see the friend request pending. Click on the friend request to add the friend, once you click add friend, it will download the family
settings and it will bring up the message "Your parent must approve your friends." It will display the parent email address and request your password before the friend request is approved and added to the list.

NOTE: If you are unable to do this, ensure you have the account saved as a "Child" account permissions and not a "Custom" account permissions.

Hope this helps!

1. First step would be to
   request a refund.
2. Step up a
   family account and have your child on a "child account"

No the child account can be silver and still send and receive friend request. Try it in reverse have the child account send your wife's account the friend request, it will ask for your info to send and if you also receive an error doing it this way

Ok reading all of these questions. First VBucks is not DLC. They are just ingame money to purchase items. As far as child account do you have the child under a family account. If child request a purchase an email is sent to parent account asking for purchase
permission. Thats how I have it for my son under family account. He cant purchase anything without me giving the ok through the family account.
