Whenever I ask the twins for a logical justification/explanation for their problematic behaviour, they’re like “It is what it is. You can’t question it.” Is that the best they can come up with?

Yes

I guess it is if they are like you say, problematic. ;-) They could say, take it or leave it, we are who we are get used to it.

"They're like" is should be omitted altogether. It is a horrible usage of English when substituted for "they respond". Everything else is grammatically correct.

"they say, 'It is what it is.'" Not "they're like". That's informal teen slang.

The use of "they're like" makes you sound like a junior high student. Other than that, it's fine.

86 the "like" and it's fine.
