" To hide behind your mothers' skirt "

Posted by Lynne S. on March 26, 2005

Hello I am wondering if anybody could help me with the correct phrasing of an expression.I am not sure if it is either "to hide behind your mothers' skirt" or if it is in fact "to hide under your mothers' skirt". I have also heard of the expression "To hide behind your mothers' apron ". What would be the correct saying & meaning ? Any help would be appreciated.
