what should i do as an adult to let children buy games?

Hi i am going to buy a game , but sadly i redeemed my gift card and my gold xbox live, as a child member. so my adult account has no bill and no gold xbox live. i set the "Buy and download" to anything in "Xbox one online safety" ,as an adult account, in
the child`s tab but when I want to buy a game, it says "Purchase of this content is currently not allowed for child and teen accounts."

what should I do?

Avatar skins for child account

but the message on screen is to have an adult purchase them FOR the child account. So, as the adult that owns the xbox live gold account, how do I do what the system is telling me to do? If, as an adult, I can not buy these for my child, why tell me I
can? And are the very childish avatar skins REALLY only meant for adult players? If child accounts cannot have them, your messaging should not tell the child to ask their parents to purchase them for them. It should just say something like “ Avatar skins (many
of which are obviously designed for children) cannot be purchased for a child account. So if you, as a parent buy your child an Xbox Live Gold account, please know that 5hey cannot access content design ped for xbox live gold members even with parent permission”.

Apologies for the confusion, we were referring to adult content restrictions. Content restrictions are usually managed through the adult account managing the child account. We recommend checking all the settings and purchase exceptions that you've set for
your children. Be sure to check out the
guide we have on granting exceptions for an account. Hopefully we can get your children these avatar items they're wanting.

 

In order to create a child account xbox requires an adult account. Children under 13 are not allowed to create accounts without an adult account. Have the adult user purchase the game or change the parental controls.

 

This is so frustrating. Xbox parental controls are a mess.

I've set every permission for the child to allow and it still shows the Purchase of this content is not allowed for child message.

It can buy stuff from the Windows 10 store but not from xbox.com

FIX IT MICROSOFT, this is a very old issue that is still frustrating parents.

 

i just lied about my son's age & purchase any game from his profile, it's less hassle
