Hi all so I'd be really grateful for any help with this one...
Dp and I are considering a setup wherein he does not live with us but stays 6 nights per week.
He and I share a DC who lives with me 7 nights per week. I also have two DC from a previous relationship who are home 5 nights per week.
He stays a fair bit as is and we're pretty good at buying our fair share of food and household stuff, as well as stuff for our DC although out of choice I buy stuff which is more expensive than he'd ever consider.
My difficulty lies in calculating a fair split on the gas and electric, which are the only utilities that would be affected by his staying here.
Putting aside our DC, I have figured that in terms of nights spent at the property per week myself and my other children spend 17. He would spend 6. So that's 26%. So that's what I'd ask for. Does that seem right considering everything?
