"Family sharing cannot be started." problem


Hello everyone.


I recently tried enabling Family Sharing on my backup account, but now I can't turn it back on. I'm getting the error message: "Family Sharing cannot be started. An account can start or join a family group twice a year. This account will be able to use Family Sharing again after 363 days." When I get an iCloud account, how do I share it with my other family members? Do I have to wait a year? Please help me. I want this lock removed.

Because of Apple's ridiculous security policies, I will never use Apple products again. I say this as an iPad Air user.
