Q: can i have two or more apple id's associate with one account
We have multiple devices in our family, one (1) iPad2, one (1) iPadMini, one (1) iPhone 4s, one (1) iPhone 5s, two (2) iPhone 6 and one (1) iMac. All are presently associated with the same apple id and account. This creates issues with missed calls showing up on other peoples phones or devices, iMessages being received by others than who it was sent, games that can't be shared if logged into game center with apple id because it defaults to the original user that set up under the apple id.
Is there anyway to have multiple apple ids associated with the same account so that we can share purchases but in effect have private access to each device? As a parent it's interesting to receive my kids messages but in reality, they are of an age where I am willing to provide privacy if they respect boundaries. In essence I don't need to be in their business 24/7. If I really want to see I can get access.
iPad 2, iOS 9.2

Have you looked into Family Sharing:
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Everyone would have their own Apple ID, but you would be able to share purchases. Did I misread your post, or is that what you are looking to do?
Cheers,
