Dear Ellen,
I have never written a letter to a newspaper before. I have just never felt the need to do such a thing. I have always felt I was quite able to do everything by myself. But now I have to say I was wrong. Sometimes you really need help in this life, I guess. And that’s why I’m writing this letter to you.
I have a happy family. I love my children and they love me. I’m the mother of three children. I know well how to bring up children, and two of them are already over twenty, so it is nothing new for me. But now I have a serious problem: the telephone problem. My son’s just seventeen, and I feel he should do lots of homework right now, but he doesn’t seem to be interested in it. He can happily spend three or four hours at a time on the phone every day, and say nothing important. And he sees red if you ask him to put down the phone. But Ellen, my husband is a doctor and his patients can’t call him. My eldest son works for a newspaper. He needs to use the telephone, too. And as you know, we just can’t pay for it.
What can I do? And don’t tell me to talk to him. We’ve tried that and it doesn’t work. But this is really a big problem in our life. I have tried everything I can think of. You’re my last hope. Please tell me what I can do!
Yours,
Ann Green
