and what isn't his. When you find him with something not his, just gently take it and substitute a chew toy he is allowed to have. When he mouths his own toy, say Good boy.
This worked on mine, that and having all the family members learn not to leave stuff around where the dog could get it. :o> Like cameras, remote controls, and shoes.

Lessons learned
Believe me, I knew absolutely nothing when I looked at houses on my own for the first time. Oooo! Pretty kitchen! Nice carpet! Love the color of the living room! Then when I had the home inspection done which cost me a good chunk of change, and boy did I learn fast. I had a 35 page report from him. I passed on the house, but I took that report to every house I looked at after before calling him to come look again and dishing out more money for the inspection. I cringe when I think of what could have been had I bought that house without his expertise. I would be in financial ruins trying to keep up with the repairs or selling it at a loss.
He should take some lessons from my BF. His youngest
brother was getting married, only invited his parents and 1 sibling (there are 5). He later decided to invite all the other siblings, my BF said no, if I wasn't wanted in teh beginning I'm not going now. Even with his mother getting on his case, he didn't go, even though it was only an hour drive. Your DH needs to develop a backbone. You shouldn't have to be the one to say no. I do agree, it is better to give notice than to wait to last minute. Tell him to pick up the phone and call her.
Thanks - He actually wants guitar lessons (sm)
I think we are going to have to work on finding other children who are interested in the same things as him. He has many interests, just not team sports or sports involving a ball. He does have some interest in roller hockey though...so I think I will try to encourage that
Life's lessons
If you only had one thing to write, what is the most important life lesson you ever learned? I've got a ton of them but if I had to choose one it would probably be what my grandfather told me growing up. In a crowd of people, never talk about religion or politics.
Just wonder what other people have learned.
Two life lessons for me, use all the time
One my father told me to get it down in writing (told special time off from exboss, then after making extensive plans told no so that is when that came into play, she said did not remember. The second came from a friend of mine- she told me the answer was always no until you ask. Well, I always ask now and get surprised myself because times when I think gonna be turned down, get a yes. In fact, first started working at home like this parttime in the 80s just by asking.
