Family sharing with two equal rights parents

Is there a way to have two organizers on family sharing? I don’t want to disable purchase sharing as my daughters are on my family share. But buying “store credit” so my husband can purchase things using his own payment method seems to me to be an added inconvenience for something that should be a simple solution.

Giving equal rights as organizers instead of just one organizer and an added adult would fix this issue. Or even just letting him select his own payment method if he is an adult on the account.

He has now had to remove himself from family sharing just because of this silly oversight and now we can’t share location, I can’t see his devices on Find My, etc. I know this question has been asked multiple times in different ways over the last three years, at least, and yet Apple still hasn’t addressed it (to my knowledge).

Seems like the only options I’ve seen are buy store credit or disband the family plan.

Two “Hard and Fast” rules:


Each family may only have ONE organizer.


Each AppleID may only be a member of ONE family.


Sorry.


We fellow users understand both the cumbersome nature and the difficulties this can create when the need to “change organizers” arises.


That said, the “payment” sharing CAN be “split-out.”


(Our own family is so-configured, although for the life of me I can’t find the setting 🫣 )
