military SM is a very thankless job

being a SM in general is thankless.  Its just extra thankless right now.  DH is away with the military.  I'm 7.5 months pregnant.  The boys are doing everything but what they should and have excuses for everything. 

SS2 didn't get up for school this morning.  SS1 didn't go to the library.  "No one" broke our backdoor.  The fridge drawer magically "fell" out.  Dog peed on the carpet in the baby's room and they left it.  SS1 complained endlessly about having to take out the trash.  SS2 broke the recycle container.  SS2 whined about having to put away the dishes. 

Doctor doesn't want me to get stressed out about the boys and their attitudes.  I'm about to call DH's buddy to give them a strong chat.  Maybe he will take them home with him. 

Let me add that they are 19 and almost 17. 

EDIT:  OK, I know I'm whining.  I just want DH to deal with this and not me.

    Oh wow. I was reading and picturing a couple of elementary school kids. 17 and 19? That is ridiculous.

    17 19?! Time to move out and start acting like adults.

    I'm a military sm and I spend a lot of one on one time with SS because of DHs schedule. But I'll be damned if a 19 and 17yr old acted that way in my house. They are old enough to know b

    Why are you buying them easter outfits to begin with?  Sorry, but by 17 and 19 (if you dont want to make them get a job and pay for it themselves), they get a clothing budget and THEY need to get appropriate wardrobes.

    And if they do not hav
