Argh! I-864 is so confusing. Confused on Part 3, Question 2.

I'm a US citizen petitioning for a GC for my parents. My parents are married to each other and immigrating at the same time. 

 

Thanks to VJ I know I need to file a separate I-864 for each of them.

 

But Part 3, Question 2 (see attached) has me stumped. For my mother's I-864 do I check the box in Q2, since I AM sponsoring another family member (namely, my father) immigrating at the same time or within six months of the principal immigrant (my mother, in this case)? But it also says in parentheses: "do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition." Since I am filing a separate I-130 for my father, and a separate I-864 to accompany his I-485 application, this suggests I should not check the box. 

My inclination is not to check the box. But then how would USCIS correctly calculate my household size, which should be 4 (myself, spouse, my mother, my father)? If I include only my mother on one I-864 and only my father on another, doesn't that make the relevant household size smaller—namely, just 3—in each of the petitions? 

Thanks in advance for any help. This site is a lifesaver!
