[quote=Anonymous]I only have 2 kids, so I get that this 50% simpler than what you are asking about. But I always made a spreadsheet over the winter with a column for each kid, row for each week. Blacked out any family vacation weeks or similar. Then listed the options for each kid for each week. Sat down with each kid individually to get 2-3 top picks, any absolute non-interests (with the caveat that they couldn’t veto everything in a given week, they might have to choose the least bad options), and a rough order of preference for everything in between. Then I’d take those preferences, work out the drop-off/pick-up timing, figure out the best way to keep them geographically close for as many weeks as possible, and move things around until I fit as many of their preferences as I could. They always understood they may not get all of their preferences, but we were almost always able to get the top few. [/quote]
