Hi Peter, Ronni, Daniel Peter, I think the thing to remember is that if you and your kids use the same Apple ID then there is no "my stuff" "kids stuff" from the iTunes account point of view - it is all associated with that apple ID - so when you are in iTunes and signed into that account it is all "your stuff".
As Ronni & Daniel have pointed out, however, you can control what syncs between your computer and your various IOS iDevices. Even though I am the only person using my Apple ID, I do not use the "auto" setting since I have several apps that could work on both my iPhone and my iPad but I choose to have some only on my iPhone and others only on my iPad. So, for me (as for you if you want to avoid getting all your kids new apps) the box that says to "Automatically sync new Apps" has to be unchecked. The downside, of course, is that when YOU purchase new apps you have to go into iTunes and select that app in the sync list for whichever of your iDevices you want it to sync to - in my case, I have to add to the sync list for my iPhone, or my iPad, or both - depending on where I want the app. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
