Okay so I tried to buy a game earlier and it says I can only buy free games? Now I looked up on what it meant, and it's some kind of parent safety control? But here's the thing, I'm the one who owns the Xbox and the things I buy, my father said he didn't do anything. So what's the problem here? Do they automatically add this? And every time I try to change the "Free Stuff Only" thing, it won't let me. Everything is just highlighted in grey, like no matter how much you click it, it won't do anything. And yes I'm signed into MY account, but it won't let me customize that? Need help, will +REP

That means your account is marked as a child account under another account on your xbox.. Any other accounts on your xbox?

No. On my xbox 360 yeah. But I'm on the One.

And I have no idea how it's marked as a child account? It never has been until I got the Xbox One

I remember setting up my one it was something it asked me about, maybe you accidentally did it. Best bet is to just call them, or log onto the other account and see if you can send you "kid" an allowance of Microsoft points.
