  2. Choose the rhythm

    Always for a second home that's always a second home. Rotation for a rota — every other week, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, 3-4-4-3, alternate weekends — and which week this is.

  3. Decide whose voices travel

    Everyone's, unless you exclude someone. Asked only where the house has more than one grown-up.

  • The family that made the stay is the one that reschedules it; either house can end it.
