Abstract
This study shows that children between the ages of 13 or 14 behaviors are affected by the evening work schedules. Mothers who worked at night spent considerably less time with their children and had lower quality home environments, this links to adolescent risky behaviors. Other types of maternal and paternal nonstandard work schedules were linked to higher parental knowledge of children's whereabouts, which led to lower levels of adolescent risky behaviors. These analyses revealed that boys, those in families with low incomes, and those whose mothers never worked at professional jobs may particularly be affected by mothers working at nights, due to spending less time together, having a lower degree of maternal closeness, and experiencing lower quality home environments (Han, W., Miller, D. P., & Waldfogel, J. (2010).

Introduction
This article demonstrates how when parents work late night schedules it affects children and causes different behaviors such as; cigarette smoking, alcohol and drug use, sexual activity and poor grades. These work schedules are usually between the hours of 6 p.m. - 3: am) Children whose parents work between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. are less likely to have these problems because they are in school or in after school programs.
Chosen Variables
The variables qualitative which are Boys between the ages of 13- 17, and Quantitative showing how behavior in the home. I choose this because I work with children at our church and notice that boys this age are less involved in activities than girls.
Difference in variable types
The difference between qualitative and quantitative variables are Qualitative variables are non numeric which means I can discuss the gender of a person. Quantitative variables are numeric which
