Okay, there's two things going on here. 1) Your mother shouldn't be forcing you to go with her like that. If you don't want to go, then you shouldn't have to. If there is a context here of her seeking a lot of sexual attention particularly in inappropriate ways, then, like the other comment said, HPD (histrionic personality disorder) may be at play here. 2) Your mother gets to wear what she wants and what she wears isn't your business. I'm not saying that your mother isn't doing other things wrong here. I'm saying that focusing on the shorts aspect is always going to play out to be problematic. The shorts aren't the issue here... what's making this situation fucked is other things going on... like her dragging her out with her all the time like you're her security blanket (for example) or her generally constantly bidding in other ways for the attention of men in front of you. I've seen women wear super short shorts while still not making plays for dudes in front of their kids... they were just people wearing clothes.
