Default My daughter, the "Disabler"

You know how we ladies on this forum "enable" one another when it comes to Coach shopping, right? Well, my 12-y/o daughter is the exact opposite She is the voice of shopping conscience that's why I have to hide my new Coach purchases from her. She is even worse than my husband! So everytime I try on a new purse, I just pray quietly that she won't notice Today, I was carrying my outlet-bought white pebbled Chelsea hobo. It's about 2 weeks old and so far she hasn't mentioned anything. I had another white Coach hobo bag in a plastic shopping bag as i was planning to bring it to the dry cleaners to see if they could remove an ink stain on the lining. As luck would have it, when she had to get something from the back of the car, she saw the bag and she immediately asked me, "Hey mom, why is there a white bag in the "Limited Too" plastic bag? It's exactly the same as the one you are carrying now!" Of course, to her, it is the same because they're both white. It doesn't matter that one is a Chelsea and the other is not Thank goodness she had to rush to her school for an activity. But I'm sure I haven't heard the last of this! Thought I'd just share.

My son has also declared several times that he thinks I have too many purses (and shoes) and no way will he go w her to a Coach store. I tell him he does not understand, lol!

I'm honestly surprised because I've noticed that Coach bags are getting more and more popular with younger girls- I know girls her age at my dancing school that get a new demi or pouch every time a new line comes out! Give her time- once her friends start getting into bags, she'll start to get into them because many young girls are like that- if one girl has this bag, they have to have it too!

haha. Wait until she gets a bit older and wants one of your bags, lets see how fast she learns to keep quiet then!

My daughter is 25 and if I am on the fence about a bag she will tell me "buy it Mom, then I can borrow it!".

Wow, that's hilarious. Maybe when she grows up more, she'll come to appreciate the beauty and worth of Coach. Actually, at least this way, you don't have to worry about her acquiring a Coach-Addiction at the age of 12. Then your bank account would have even more damage!

True! Right now, she is happy with her small Vera Bradley bags.

I still placate my daughter with bags from Target...no need to go down that road until I absolutely have to (and until she can save up her own money for one!)
