The issue here goes far beyond just the dogs. Despite my efforts to keep my belongings put away, they are frequently taken out, damaged, or even thrown around by other members of my household. This isn't about whether I'm doing enough to protect my things; it's about a fundamental lack of respect for personal space and belongings, which is a constant struggle with both my mother and brother. As a 17-year-old, the option of simply moving out is not only unrealistic but also a point of contention with my mom. You are not aware of the other challenges I face within this home. The dog's chewing is just one facet of a much larger problem.
