But you can bet I don't want my mom putting on a teensy black skirt and getting wasted with kids at home- that's setting a really bad example and to me, it's like trying to grasp the youth you lost a long time ago.

Separate post...
One of my sisters "had to" get married. She has 2 kids and occasionally goes out with us and she definitely parties hard...as far as what she wears that really isn't relevant. And she isn't trying to recapture her lost youth, she partied in her youth too...she happens to have an immense amount of garbage to put up with at home. If she wants to get shit-faced once in a while, that's cool with me.
Maybe if you live in a closed-minded provincial smalltown atmosphere, you can't do that, but I do not (thank God). I mean no one is going to come up to her kids on the playground and say "OMG Hayley, your mom was doing tequila shots last night!"
You can't go out after a day of work like you did in college....but I would wager that 18 year olds who work in a factory or on a farm all day feel themselves fading pretty early too.
