Thank you. I understand that now. I still feel that it can get confusing for a novice user. Like I said at the end of my earlier question, what about the number of months that my child lived with us (during the summer break, for example)? Should those months be included in the "months away"? The correct way to phrase this question, in my opinion would be "If your child was away at college, count the number of months as having lived with you, even if some of them were away in college" or words to that effect.
