These expressions could be used with several subtle differences in meaning, but they usually have somewhat similar meanings. Perhaps you could find more on dictionary.com etcetera.

Some examples:

  • That’s it! (You got the answer to our problem or question! / I’ve had enough of your bad behaviour, I will take measures now.)

  • That’s it. (We’re finished now, this is the end.)

  • That’s it? (Is this the end?)

  • This is it can mean roughly the same but is a bit stronger (whatever that means; I know, it is vague). Perhaps you could say that you use it when something more important happens; but the difference is not consistent. I’d use them as near-synonyms.

haha funny. I just want to make a correction from my previous post above (Nov 24).

I said in #1. "I’m tired of all the chores…You’re kids are all sleepy head…
it should be “…Your kids are all sleepyheads…”
