They are all idiots, DH
And it's okay to admit it. We were idiots when we were teenagers, too.
DS does stupid stuff. (I admit it and am openly frustrated by it. I have no problem with DH being frustrated, too.)
OSS does stupid stuff. (...but, but, but he does X or he's getting Y grades.)
YSS does stupid stuff. And I volunteered to help fix a stupid thing he did since BM has been helpful with some other stuff lately. YSS managed to do an additional stupid thing to thwart getting it fixed faster. (...and we shall see how DH reacts this evening if it comes up.)
Usually there are excuses and "reasons" for YSS or OSS even if they are doing the same thing that DS did. I will be shocked if there aren't "reasons" why it was okay that YSS was stupid.

Yeah, I'm glad my SO can
Yeah, I'm glad my SO can admit - freely! - when his kids are being idiots. And I'm more than happy to acknowledge when my son is being an idiot. Right now my son is going through a phase where he DEMANDS things and not asks. I made him ask four times over for a minor favour until he requested it the right way. SO backed me up and even modelled how it's done.
But
the under 40 set think they are sooooooooo smart!!!
