My code for Guillermo Cruces' problem can be simplified 
or improved further from this

to this: 

bysort hhid fatherm : gen fkids = _N
bysort hhid motherm : gen mkids = _N 
gen byte ownkids = 0 
gen byte ischild = . 
su member, meanonly 

forval i = 1 / `r(max)' { /* mailer bug protection */ 
 	replace ischild = (fatherm == `i') | (motherm == `i') 
 	#delimit ; 
 	bysort hhid (ischild) : 
 	replace ownkids = 
 	cond(motherm[_N] == `i', mkids[_N], fkids[_N]) 
 	if member == `i' & ischild[_N] ; 
 	#delimit cr 
}
