Adding living persons in my tree

I have started my own tree and I added myself as the first person. I then added my parents and they were immediately linked to existing records. I now want to add my wife and our child but I cannot see any way to do this. Can you help?

    @PaddyBrown1 You should see options to add one/both to your profile by clicking on the Add Spouse and Add Child options. If you're not seeing something like this then get back…

    @PaddyBrown1 I don't think you will be able to add your spouse and children unless you go to the Family Tree.

    Have you navigated to the Family Tree yet? I think once you are there things will make more sense when it comes to adding relations
