IPAD/Ipod etc
If your child has one of these devices do you set up their own email address/account? Can you still have control over that? I have their ipods under my email. Everytime they get a text or facetime it comes through mine. They are getting minis for Christmas and I want to change it so it doesn't come through me BUT I want to have full control over them so I can monitor it.

There is a new Family Sharing that you can setup under your iTunes account. You can create iTunes accounts under yours (yours is the master) - you can set it for a child <13 years old. DS is a getting an iPad link for Christmas and the guy at Apple told me about this. I asked b/c I was getting frustrated when I was sending/receiving texts and FaceTime on my phone and his iPod.

Great, thanks. I hope I can figure out how to do this! :)

Worst case, goto the Apple store - everyone I've dealt with there was helpful - they're the ones who told me about the Family Sharing.
I was able to set it up on my iphone

Re: IPAD/Ipod etc
One more question if you read this.
Do you know if I need to have their ipads to set it up or can I do it before Christmas?
Thanks for all the info!
