I've just felt frustrated lately being the one to make sure homeworks done, college applications are getting filled out, my son is taking his ADHD medication, dogs are getting fed, etc. and when he feels like swooping in and being the hero he can. He doesn't yell at them or have to discipline them, he only sees S one day a week as it is.
I know how that feels! My kids are actually adults, legally if not always emotionally : ) but I was having difficulties with younger one getting his classes registered and student loan apps, etc. H felt I was being over-dramatic. Easy for him, living 10 miles away and having no day-to-day interaction or responsibility, just showing up to do fun things.
I've chosen to take the high road by being the best mom I can be and staying out of their relationship with H. Your sitch is a bit different because yours are younger.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
