AU Kids Weekend: Kid Count Clarification

Over the last 24 hours I've gotten a few complaints regarding the two kid limit so hopefully this will resolve some issues.

While your characters are only allowed two kids for the weekend, if they are with another character they will not be double counted.

In other words:

Ron and Jamie's muns decide they should have two kids: Rufus Xavier and Rafaella Gabriela Sarsparilla. Now since these kids are between two IG characters, each parent can take one of the kids towards their two kid total leaving them with one more slot to use. So now Jamie can have a kid with Mel named Albert Andreas Armadillo (no relation to the Sarsparillas.)

Hopefully this will help you during your time of kidmaking plotty. Please enjoy the rest of your day.

What if I don't want my children to be named Sarsparilla?

And now I have that song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOaty7FpwMI) in my head for the day.

Now Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla.
If she found a kangaroo I'd say to you:
"SHE found a kangaroo that followed HER home, and now it is HERS."
But I can't say that...
'Cause SHE found an aardvark
That fell in love with HER, and THEY're so happy.

Does this only apply to couples having multiple kids with each other, like Ron and Jamie's two kids above? Or is it any kid only counts to one IG parent?

Wait, this goes better with another example:

Willow and Peter have a kid. They name it Bob. Willow claims the kid.

Willow and Giles have a kid. They name it Ed. Giles claims the kid.

Peter and Giles have a kid. They name it Steve. Peter claims the kid.

Do Willow, Peter and Giles all have a slot left each, since they've only claimed one kid each thus far? Or are they all done, since they all technically have two kids (even though there are only three kids total)?

Merci! I get confuzzled easily, especially pre-caffeine. *goes to remedy caffeine issue*
