OT-tent question

I have a very nice backwoods light weight tent(GoLite 5 person tent). The daughters have decided they want to go camping. I now need a tent that can hold 10 but, there will be only 4 of us.  If it's not the 10 person size tent I will hear nothing but complaining. Can someone give me a good recommendation. This would be a drive in tent.

    We have a Coleman weather master that we got from Costco. This is the version 2 but it looks the same as what we have. The hinged door is nice it's not a zip so if you have to get up in the middle of the night you don't wake every one. There is also a divider to separate the area that can be a screen porch or zipped up for privacy from the main tent so you can separate the tent into 2 and each side will hold a queen sized mattress. It's also pretty easy to put up my wife and I can do it in 10 minutes. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Coleman-WeatherMaster-II-Screened-10-person-Tent-New-/271715777785?nav=SEARCH you may check Costco if you have a membership I know they have a 10 person but I haven't paid attention to which one they have now.

    Since you already have a very nice tent, why not add a second tent for the daughters?

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    How old are the daughters? Can they sleep separately in their own tent? I agree with jtc^^^^^^^--kids sleeping by themselves makes everyone much happier.

    4 people, 5 person tent... Tell 'em to suck it up. =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    We have a Columbia Cougar 8 man tent that we sleep 5 in and it's PLENTY of space.  All the other families call it the "Tent-Mahal".  Good quality at reasonable price.
