I love my sons from ages 17-20 dearly. Is it’s Bein hazmanim and so far the last week plus has been HORRIBLE. They think they are in charge, they could parent the younger ones, no consideration, they know everything and we know nothing are are just there to feed and annoy them. Is his normal? I totally fell apart and when do their brains and personalities start being normal human type?

Normal but not acceptable. It will take several years until their brains mature. In the meantime it's the job of you and your DH to remind them who the parents are.

Mark Twain on Adolescence. "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

hang in there - early adulthood is just around the corner, and suddenly you'll be smart again.

Well count yourself lucky if they were girls they would have known everything by 14!
Just keep reminding them who’s in charge & that the younger kids already have 2 parents & don’t require more.
Oh & make sure they’re not hungry, teen boys are grumpy when hungry 😄

OP, what does your DH say about this when they act up?

Usually boys that age will listen better to their father. Have DH sit them down and tell them to respect their mother!

This is why I am bothered by the new movement to have boys get married younger.
Why not a gezeira for girls to start shidduchim older? It's a win-win all around.
