I did try both ways, its a no go. They would start arguing and the poor henpecked husband would walk off to do laundry or clean the fridge. Poor him. =(
There are days that I run for the hills as soon as the kids latch onto my husband.

Doesn't mean I don't love them, but a little me time stolen when I can get it is priceless.

I understand but considering she ignores them the whole time and neither has she put any effort (despite my constant praises) into her career. Could it be I had randomly encountered a slob/slacker adoptee?
