I'm not sure about the frogspawn, but my kenya tree drops branches waaaaay too often. I believe it's their way of reproducing asexually (cue the "all by myself" theme song).
as for getting the woman on board, i've found that cutting down at the gurgling and flushing toilet noise from the tank helps...ie moving it out of the bedroom...best of luck!
