Can someone explain when do you use "oba" and when "oboje"? It is very confusing.
"Oba" is used for neuter (most of them, but not here) and masculine non-personal nouns. "Obaj" for masculine personal. "Obie" for feminine. And "oboje" before nouns denoting people of mixed sex, personal and animate neuter nouns (of which there are few), and non-masculine personal pluralia tanta.
So we use "oboje" here, because "dzieci" is a mixed sex, personal and animate neuter noun in plural, right?
Well, specifically personal neuter. They may both be of the same sex, we don't know.

Oh, thanks, Jellei - so clear (and yet so difficult for me to learn!) Bardzo dziękuję!!
"dwójkę" doesn't mean "both", it just means "two", but maybe there are more children.
