No regard for pregnant SM at all
We have 2 bathrooms 4 boys a DH and a pregnant SM. Our upstairs toilet is wobbly it was scaring me so we called a plumber and he said he will have to fix the broken flange. We have to wait until next Friday to be able to pay for it. I'm 4 months pregnant so my bladder isn't bothering me to terribly but I would at least like to use the bathroom when I need to. It seems like every time I have to go someone is in there. When I go to do my bathroom business I'm done in under 2 minutes these boys DH included will be in there 30 minutes or longer doing who knows what. Texting , reading, playing with their toes all while they sit on the toilet and I am banging on the door for them to please hurry. When I finally get into the bathroom it smells like wet dog and rotten eggs. There is a poop stain in the toilet and poop smear on the seat accompanied by a lone piece of hair. By the time I clean the grossness and sit on the thrown another boy is banging on the door.
I try to stay calm but I'm losing it. The boys shower in the downstairs bathroom and DH and I in the upstairs but someone is always whining and complaining that someone is in the downstairs and they need to shower. They always clog the darn bathtubs and leave my floor dripping wet. I almost slipped and fell twice and I don't find that funny at all. I can clean my tub all day. One of them takes a shower or bath and boom its dirty again from one freaking bath. Like they rolled in freaking mud or something. If I tell them to clean they say ok and nothing gets done. I have to nag nag nag then they do a half assed job. I started telling DH if they wont clean he needs to clean I'm tired of doing all the darn cleaning. He says he will later I wake up he went to work and the bathrooms are still nasty.
No ones gives a crap about me and if I can use a clean toilet or take a shower. They don't care that once or twice a day everyday I'm cleaning a bathroom with no help. They want to leave spit globs in the sink and crusted toothpaste and hair gel and just leave it. The grossest part is they bath and brush their teeth and sit on the toilet of each others filth and no one bothers to clean but me. It just really burns my butt.

^^ This. Should not take
Should not take more than one LYS lecture with you using a sopping wet toilet brush to point and gesticulate grandly (make sure you spray them with the water) to get your point across.
Alternately. Take the power cords/ chargers to all they hold dear.
They can have them back when the bathrooms are cleaned to your specs.
Oh dear, I can so relate to
Oh dear, I can so relate to what you're dealing with except I only had DH and one adult SS to contend with.
I finally explained to DH that for women, it's difficult enough to have to share a bathroom with even their husband (due to the fact that most men are naturally not the neatest in the bathroom) but yet we are able to because we love our DH, but having to share a bathroom with any other man gets down right disgusting to us.
Most men and boys are horrible in bathrooms!!
After you get the 2nd bathroom fixed, insist on it being a bathroom that only you and DH can use...NO EXCEPTIONS!
Stand over them and make them
Stand over them and make them clean the toilet. Believe me, once they've had to clean their encrusted shit out of the toilet bowl, they won't do it again. In my experience, men have no concept of how to keep a bathroom clean. My husband is nearly 50 and it looks land smells ike a stink bomb has gone off in there when he's used it. It was the same with my ex, and even my father. Since you have more than one bathroom, maybe once it is fixed, you can stipulate that one bathroom is for yours and DH's exclusive use, and the other bathroom is for the boys? If they want to be disgusting then they can do it in their own environment. I had a similar arrangement with DH when I got sick and tired of constantly having to clean the back of the toilet bowl, and it works. Now, low and behold, now his bathroom is purely his responsibility, it's a lot cleaner. Men in my experience seem to think there's a magic fucking cleaning fairy that goes around cleaning up after them (usually me). They grow up having their mothers clean up after them, and then they expect it to carrry on with their GF/wife. Make them take responsibility for their own mess and they'll soon fall in line.
