Moms in "booty" shorts

Last week I spent every morning working at the wonderful orientation program for transfer students coming to the university where I work. During my time spent around these new students and their parents I came to one very important conclusion; moms (especially moms of college students) should not wear "booty" shorts. As I was working on a transfer evaluation for an incoming student, I had a very nosy mom looking over my shoulder. She made it very clear that although she had no idea what I was doing, she was going to question my every decision. As this woman walked away, I noticed that she had on shorts that were barely covering her butt cheeks. Seriously! At the youngest (lets say she was pregnant with her daughter at the age of 16) we'll say this mother was 36. 25 in my opinion is too old to be wearing shorts that do not offer full coverage of the rear region, let alone 36. As a mother myself, I feel fairly confident in stating that post childbirth, my body has had some shifts. My midsection, nor my rear are commodities in which I feel necessary to show off anymore.
So in closing, my biggest pet peeve are mothers that try to dress like their much younger daughters. I am not wearing onesies alongside Delaney and Alison. Mothers of 20 somethings should not be dressed to pick up guys or go to the bar. I know that my clothing, consisting of mainly banana republic, jcrew, and ann taylor could be considered a bit conservative, but I do feel that there is a need for women (and men) to dress their age!
