Thanks for verifying. It is a shame, sorry I really try hard to like the ecosystem but it's this kind of things that really throw me off.

Yep, it’s a shame. I use the family settings for both of my kids and the system works well for the most part. I have found that somehow the google apps ignore downtime. I had to block YouTube entirely to shut it down, but it’s just an on off thing in the family settings.

It was a little weird to set up, it’s by account so you have to set up a unique Apple ID for yourself and an additional account for each person, then set up the “Family”
