PBC, Chloe- and all you H bag lovers who live with or close to your MIL. I feel for you...
I used to live in the SAME country as my MIL. That was enough... she knows about my love for bags but can't really say much as she knows I work and manage my own businesses.... though I am sure a part of her suspects DH pays for them (which is absolutely true since I truly believe that in a marriage, - what is mine is mine, what is yours is mine ).
While my MIL will ask for my permission to touch my bags, she made a joke (or maybe it wasn't since to this day I can't bring myself to chuckle about it) that when we go on vacation, perhaps a thief will come and steal all of my bags!!! Imagine that!
In any case, it sounds a little extreme but I will lend my MIL or my mom or my sister my jewelry, money, car.... whatever... but they know NOT to ask about borrowing my H bags...
