My daughter has an iPod and I have an iPad. We both have separate Apple IDs. How can I see her text message history on my iPad along with my own message history? If I change the Apple ID on my iPad between my ID and my child's, will the iMessage history show up each time I switch IDs on my iPad?

Check this post out. It looks very possible. Let me know what you come up with. – bassplayer7 Dec 14 '12 at 3:27
Don't do that. Let your daughter have her privacy. – Emil Feb 10 at 19:06

On your iPad, go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > Add Another Email add a her email. This will generate a confirmation email to your daughter's address, if her email hasn't been used with this Apple ID before. She needs to click the link in that email for you to see her messages.

Can you expand this further - I have no settings->iMessage just Settings-Message and no text anything like " and add a her email for receiving iMessage" – Mark Jan 7 at 10:00
@Mark Sorry for the confusion. I updated the answer to reflect the correct location of the setting. – Kevin Chen Jan 8 at 3:01
