"I am very confused.".

Dear Kids,

I am very confused. My father moved away, and he lets me stay up and 6:00 A.M. My mother tells me to go to bed at 9:00 P.M. Can you help me?

You should listen to your mom. You'll be tired in the morning if you stay up too late.

--Fermin

I think you should listen to your mom because you live with her now. Maybe she will let you stay up late on weekends.

--Laura

When you're with your mom, go to bed at 9 P.M. because it's her rule, and you should listen to your mom.

--Peter

I think your mom and dad should have a talk and decide a bedtime for you.

--Kelsi

I think you should listen to your mother for school nights and listen to your dad on weekends.

--Vinnie
