Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You modified the two merge commands by inserting "1:1". You can replace "1:1" with "m:1" in both places or you can just omit "1:1" completely. The reason for replacing the first "1" with "m" would be that a mother can have more than 1 child in the past 5 years and a household can include more than 1 mother ("m" is an abbreviation for "many"). I had intentionally omitted that part of the merge command.
