How to add family to xbox live gold on Xbox 360?

Or to make it easier:

When you add a family member to an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, you have to add it to the same console as the primary account holder. However, after you add that family member to your Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, they can recover their account on a different
console and still remain a part of the Family Pack. AND The Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack gives you four 12-month Gold memberships for less than the price of two.

Add someone to a Gold Family Pack

Notes

• Only the primary account can add a member (secondary account) to a Gold Family Pack. If you’re adding an existing account, you’ll need the Windows Live ID and password of the account that you’re adding.
  
• If the account that you want to add to your Family Pack is not stored on your console, you’ll need to
  
  download the Xbox LIVE gamertag.
• Existing Xbox LIVE accounts keep all Microsoft Points and gamerscores when you add them to the Gold Family Pack.

• • If you’re adding an existing Xbox LIVE account to your Family Pack, you’ll need the Windows Live ID and password for this account.
    

• If you’re creating a new Xbox LIVE account, you’ll need a Windows Live ID. If you don't have one,
  sign up for a free Windows Live account on your computer or a Windows Live ID will be created for you during the sign up process.

If you receive an error while adding a member to the Gold Family Pack, see
Troubleshooting Gold Family Pack for more information.

Notes

• Once an account is added to the Gold Family pack, the secondary account becomes parentally controlled by the primary account. This change can limit the types of content an account can purchase or download on Xbox LIVE.
  
• The final screen explains how existing Gold membership time is added to the Gold Family Pack. The Gold Family Pack receives one month of additional membership time for every two months of remaining Xbox LIVE Gold time. For example, if the secondary account
  has six months remaining on their Xbox LIVE Gold Membership, three months are added to the Gold Family Pack membership.
  

Computer steps: Add someone to a Gold Family Pack

1. Go to the Family Center.
   
2. Click Add Family Member
3. Enter the email address for the family member’s Windows Live ID. If you don’t know a family member’s Windows Live ID, see
   
   Manage your Windows Live ID for help.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter their Windows Live ID password and add them to the family.
   

Note If you created a new Xbox LIVE account using the above computer steps, you’ll need to download this account to your Xbox 360 console. For information on how to do this, see

Move, delete, or download your Xbox LIVE gamertag.

There used to be an option to share your membership on the 360 but it was delisted a couple of years ago and is no longer available.

Although you can share your membership on the Xbox One console it stays there and cannot be transferred to any other console. If you would like to have a membership for your other family members on the 360 then I'm afraid you would have to purchase each
one individually.
