[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 185615, member: 84"] [B][I]This[/I][/B] is how I finally broke Travis. Personal boundaries is a concept that he just does not get. Period. He helped himself to anything in the house. To him he was borrowing, not stealing because he intended to give it back. There were so many times his sisters nearly killed him over this. I had to do something. So, I started going into his room and talking one or two of his most precious items and hiding them away. When he'd ask about them or comment on someone stealing from him I'd just say Well, it's certainly not fun when it's your stuff is it? I kept doing it until he stopped "borrowing" from other members in the house. Travis never thought to ask to just use the stuff he wanted. It never occured to him. What burned me up is that for most of what he'd sneak off with, they'd have let him use if he'd just simply asked. [/QUOTE]
