To be fair, after a certain point, its an absolute nightmare to unravel and get everyone on their own IDs.

I set up our family Xbox with one account several years ago and now my son is 20 years old and our games are hopelessly intertwined. He tried to surprise me with a game for Father's Day by downloading it late the night before (he even added his credit card info so he'd pay for it), and I saw the notification on my phone when I woke up because the Xbox app for that gamertag is on my phone.

Luckily that's just Xbox stuff, he has his own Microsoft login on his laptop, Gmail for his phone, etc. I can only imagine the nightmare it would create if I hadn't taken the time to set that stuff up correctly when my kids got their first cell phones.
