Did you set up different databases for each family member? You can share a few of the tables, like user, but from what I read of your set up you are only changing the interface language. Of course your common.css is being overwritten.

Sorry Daniel, I was even wondering if my advice was worthwhile considering you wrote the book. (Literally.) I must not have read your original message very closely. And while I still don't have any advice on how to fix it, I have experienced single wikis take a long time to change based on something in MediaWiki:Common.css. So maybe it's the same phenomena? Each URL you go to for a wiki just takes a while to process the Common.css changes.
