I want to set up a family group to keep in touch with my family. We all have our own Apple ID's and pay for our own stuff (we are all 18+) Is there a way to set up a family service without me having to confirm all my families downloads?
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1
I'm having a similar issue
Our family does not use standard credit cards so our only means to set up iCloud Family Sharing was to give each child a regular apple ID (with 'feasible' birthdays) and WE keep the passwords. I've linked our son's account under my iCloud account successfully but I'm unable to do the same for our daughter. Each time I try to do so it tells me 'Could not add family member. A new family member could not be added at this time. Please try again later.' I've checked the apple system status page at https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ and the site reports no issues with Apple iCloud services.
Any ideas on how I can get this working? Having a younger child jealous with her older brother is not a pretty sight.

You realize that's a crime, right?
Apple didn't make the rules. The US Congress did. Apple is a US based company and must comply with US law. What you're doing is not legal.
if it's illegal so be it. *shrug

You obviously don't understand why the law was passed in the first place.
Sorry, no one is going to get advice here on how to break the law.
