I always mess this up to, but I think you need "m:1"

From Stata, with my adaptations in []: http://www.stata.com/manuals13/dmerge.pdf

This is an m:1 merge because [householdID] can correspond to many observations in the master dataset [multiple kids from same household, since you've loaded in child file], but uniquely identifies individual observations in the using dataset ["using HH_member_recode_HHedonly"]

So that should work.
