Same case with me. But in Lois's case this seems compounded by the fact
she
has near total loathe for them.
I should have been a little specific as I was in a little but of a hurry
when I made the original post (but there is a slight spoiler warning
here).
Lois "got" Malcolm a job at Lucky Aide then she wrote him up for doing a
more efficient job of flattening boxes than the store rules would allow.
(You weren't supposed to flatten boxes close to the dumpster and he did.)
He catches her smoking on a break and she implores him not to tell anyone
because Hal doesn't know she is. Nonetheless, she writes him up for the
box
rule again later. Thus showing she has absolutely no character or
conscience at all when it comes to her children.

Oh...I forget that we have a lot of foreign viewers that are a season
behind. Sorry if I ever say anything that gives it away...
