Steam families restricted if different country

I think, it's most "wrong" function there. Because i can live in one country and my true family can live in different country. I not talk about friends now, even family can't access me just because i work in different country for example. So that new function totally dissappointed me.

it's useless function now because this. Valve killed family libraries. I hope at least they can return optional choice for old system.

even now as i returned to live with my family and in their household and use the same wifi, it doesnt allow us to be part of the same family just because of previous purchase history when i lived abroad and made this account, this is unacceptable valve...
You can fix this by making a small purchase on Steam (as low as 1$/£/whichever currency you use) so the store region is set back to the same region as your family. It's insane we even have to jump through these hoops, but at least for situations like yours there's a way to fix it! Good luck :)

would this work for same currency ? A big part of the EU uses the same currency and as such it is not the currency that matters, but something else.
Also, in many countries Steam supports the "local" easiest payment method and as such I may not have the option to buy something on my account using the method of the other country. While I could ask my relative to do the payment, then I will also need to switch back to my country if I want to be able to easily buy games and stuff...
This whole new system is broken by (bad) design and nothing can convince me otherwise. It sounded great when I first heard about it but the implementation is atrocious :(

And publishers, who are most likely the driving force that made Valve agree to such a change, are greedy as h*ck ...
