[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you split this? 5 bedroom, 10 person house- adults and older kids (no babies).

Group 1 (2 adults, 2 teens)
Group 2 (2 adults, 1 kid)
Group 3 (1 adult, 1 teen)
Group 4 (1 adult)

I'd split it six ways just based on the number of adults. Kids sleep free. If any of the adults complain I would not consider them family or friends. [/quote]

If you make your single or childless friends subsidize your 9, 15, or 19 year old, I wouldn't consider you a friend or family. [/quote]

Most people don’t travel with single or childless friends if they have kids.

Here is what we have done: Ask each group (before house-hunting) how many rooms they need. Y[b]ou pay based on the number of bedrooms you require[/b]. Rental prices go up as the bedrooms do. If a single [b]person wants to sleep on the couch I can see cutting them a deal[/b], but if they’d like their own room, they have to pay.

For example, one year we went with 3 other families. My family and 2 of the others wanted 2 bedrooms each. The last family was looking to spend less and was happy to share 1 bedroom. So we did 2/7, 2/7, 2/7, 1/7 (7 bedroom house.)[/quote]

So which is it? You pay based on the bedrooms, but you still have to pay (but cut a deal) if someone sleeps on the couch? [/quote]
