Each of you should have your own, individual AppleIDs.


Multiple individuals sharing the same AppleID is bad for a number of reasons; the issue you’ve encountered is just the “tip of the iceberg.


Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support


Once you have your accounts separated, then you can properly use the features of Apple’s “Family Sharing”
