I just set up family share, but my kids show up as adults using their existing Apple ids. I want their statis to be child so I can set some parameters. Can this be changed?

I Just set up family share using my children's existing Apple ids. But theit statis show up as adult, is there a way to change this?

No, it's only with family sharing that child accounts can now be created (by the family organiser), you can't change existing accounts to be child accounts. You will either have to keep them with their existing adult accounts, or you can create new child accounts for them : Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support

I am trying to set up internet sharing from my macbook air but there does not seem to be an option for this because the air is connected to the internet via wifi connection. Is it possible to still share this?

It depends upon how the other machines are connecting to your MBA:
If the the other machines are also using wi-fi, they can connect directly to the wireless access point (router) without going through your MBA
If the other machines are connecting to the MBA using ethernet you can share your wi-fi connection to them

How to set up myself as family share organizer with my own Apple id when someone else has gotten a new phone and used my Apple ID on it and set up family share for themselves?

its my Apple ID and it's basically been hijacked on a device I dont own and someone else has been set up as family share organizer in my own Apple ID and I can't seem to do anything about it.

You really need to get the apple id straightened out before you start, or you will pay the price forever!   You have a couple of options. I assume your dad is cooperating with this project. I think you are probably right about using his apple account.
Make sure you have established the second e mail address and that to works.
Log onto apple.com, and in the upper right, log into the account. Once in the accout, click on the area where you can change you data, and add the second email address.    Apple wil verify the adress by send it an e mail, and won't do anything further until you respond to an e mail sent to that address, so watch for it.
After the address is verified, on your accout page, make that address your primary address contact from apple. That way if apple sends confirmations for apps and things, they will go to the new address, and your mom won't see them. Then set the pad up using the same aple Id as your dad. Remember, you have not changed the apple id or the password, you have only changed the e mail address for contact.   ( you can change it back after the surprise)
The other suggestion... I have given a coule of pads to folks, and one of the real fun parts for them and for you is o
Ending the box, and doing the set up. It is a great way for them to learn enough to use it. Press the buttons etc. pick their own apps. You can gift her all the apps you want, and she can learn how to download them herself.
I gave a pad to mom in law, and did pretty much what you are planning, and at the end of the day, having it all set when she openied it made it harder for her to learn, rather than easier.
But you are doing a god thing, and I am sure she will enjoy the pad.

Trying to set up family share and the invitation does not show the accept decline option so we can't accept the invitation. Anyone know how to fix?

invitation to family share does not have the accept or decline option to choose

Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

How can I add my photo after setting up family share

Hello there, bryan1953.
The photo used by Family Sharing is based on your Contact card in Contacts. The following Knowledge Base article walks through how to add a photo:

Add or change a picture
Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
Select a picture:
Drag an image to the picture well.
Click Camera to take a picture.
If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
Click Edit to edit the picture.
To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
Click Done.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How to share photos between macbook air and iphone5s

What is the easiest way to transfer photos from my iphone 5s to my macbook air, wirelessly. I have wifi in the house and not really sure how to use the icloud. Thoughts? Thank you so much.

Hi there Braeth,
There are a couple of ways of accomplishing this. You can either sync them directly to your computer via iTunes, or use iCloud to sync your photos via PhotoStream. I have linked some resources below for how to get everything set up.
