If I want to order personal items in Amazon without my kids who also use my acct seeing it in my order history how do I do that.? Is there a way to order as a guest? Or open a free other Amazon account? What do people do?

sure you can open a free account with a different email address or even just a phone number you just won't have prime
I do that for any personal items I don't want people to see

There is a way.
I forgot how, but I remember reading about it online once, and I thought it was a great idea for when I want to order hub a present, or I dont want kids seeing lingerie etc.
It had to do with making a separate account, that is connected to your original one. It would be a separate name and order history but connected to your prime account.
I never got around to doing it, and I read this a few years ago, so I hope it still exists

You can clear the browsing history and after you placed the order you can archive it.

You should be able to you would just have to remember to cancel it and make sure it has no links to your old account, similar phone number etc

Within your Amazon account you can add a family member. That family member gets their own logon, but your prime membership is Included. I’m not on a computer right now so can’t tell you exactly how to do it, but it wasn’t hard!!!

When using amazon household the main individual on the account gets notifications for each item you bought and needs to approve it.

Maybe if you have it said to teens or kids because I'm a member of my dad's household and he does not get any information about mine except for every so often are echo device notifies him that there's a package for me or him or whatever that's a little mixed up, but I'm pretty sure that you can set the privacy settings

So give the kids the second account, which won't show the other items, and she can buy on the main account.
