I left out some information in my last question. I DO get on the boys for not cleaning up after themselves, and they are NOT human lumps, and it really wasn't about him getting sarcastic with them. He also insults them. I know that they should get on the stick and do what they're told and I tell them all the time that they should be doing things without being told, like keeping their rooms clean, doing dishes, doing their own laundry, etc. I should have said I AM the one who does most of the reminding. He keeps his mouth shut for the most part. But when he does speak up it's never in a helpful manner. He says things like, "haven't you guys ever heard of picking up after yourselves", and "I guess nobody here knows how to read". Things like that. My question should have been whether these comments, hurtful and insulting as they are, are helping or hurting the situation. I'm in the middle and it's hurting me very much and nobody here seems to notice.
