Manage Family Sharing without iPhone or iPad or Mac
I am a non-iPhone user so however, my son and wife are iPhone users. How do I manage Family sharing w/o iPhone or iPad or Mac?

Hello patelhiranya,
It appears you cannot:
Set up Family Sharing - https://support.apple.com/HT201088
You can get shared material with a PC with iCloud for Windows but apparently you need to have an Apple device to set it up.

It can be done using one device, but it is a bit more difficult using only one device. On the device, sign into iCloud with your Apple ID and set up Family Sharing. If necessary, create the child's ID. Sign out of your ID and sign in with the child's ID. Swap iCloud sign in as required.
Thanks a lot for the reply. Is it possible to detach my child' account from an account and attach it with my wife's account w/o iPhone? Please note that my wife's account is not added to Family. Thanks
Thanks Limnos!
Your wife could be the Organizer for Family Sharing and the child a member of the Family Sharing group with Ask to Buy set on the account.
