[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's ours:

5 bedroom house:

Group 1: 2 adults, 2 kids
Group 2: 2 adults, 2 kids
Group 3: 2 adults
Group 4: 2 adults
Group 5: 1 adult
Group 6: 1 adult

Kids are all preschoolers/lower elementary[/quote]

If the kids are young and will sleep in with their parents, all the couples get a room and pay an equal share (1/5) and the two singles share a room (one with 2 beds if one exists), and they pay one share, so each person pays 1/2 what a couple pays.[/quote]

This is what seems fair to me.  One person in our group is passive-aggressively suggesting that we pay by person, but it seems unfair given that we will be sleeping 4 to a room (with our kids on air mattresses on the floor).[/quote]

See, I don't think that is passive aggressive at all.  That single person sounds like s/he is advocating for his/her rights.

I'm saying this as a mom of more than a handful of kids but I think the single people usually get screwed in these group house situations.  I think you should all pay a per person rate with adults in their own rooms, kids in a dorm room, and babies with their parents in a crib/pac-n-play.[/quote]

Passive aggressive isn't the message.  Passive aggressive is the method of communication.

Also, there are no babies in this situation.  Everybody needs a bed.  All of the kids will be sleeping on air mattresses or mats on the floors of their parents' rooms.  If there were babies would you propose that the babies also pay equally to the adult who gets her own room?[/quote]

Re the passive aggressive, the poster didn't identify the method and just indicated a message was passive aggressive.  So take it up with that poster, not me.

I think anyone under 2 is free but any kids over 2 are full freight.  We have 5 kids so, yes, my money would be where my mouth is.  Honestly it sounds like you all need more than one house if you're going to be complaining so much about where everyone is sleeping.  Get your own place and then this isn't a problem.[/quote]
