Apple 'family sharing' makes me apprehensive. I agreed to it at my husband's suggestion, hoping I'd get all the music he endlessly downloads along with my daughter's stuff that's on his account, and tonight - I tried to download Hozier's 'Take Me to Church' and I found I couldn't do anything on my account without my husband's security code. Even though I've had my own Apple account for years, it was subjugated to my husband's account via 'sharing'.

Has anyone else had this experience? I immediately had flashbacks and a bad evening, and I stopped all 'sharing' on my electronics. And my husband confronted me about it, because he had an email from Apple saying I'd done this.
Yet - I never had an email from Apple alerting ME to the fact that my account had just been subjugated to someone else's. Agreeing to 'sharing' didn't involve subjugation in what I read.

So, was I highjacked? Did Apple pull one over on me? Did my husband knowingly pull one over on me? He isn't happy tonight that I disengaged from 'sharing', but so be it. I just want to know at which level my autonomy was violated.
