Student Loans/FAFSA MPN confusion?

The website states,

"Reference Information: List two persons with different U.S. addresses who do not live with you and who have known you for at least three years. If you are a parent borrower, do not list the student.

-List two persons with different U.S. addresses who have known you for at least three years.

-The first reference should be a parent or legal guardian."

So i'm confused, the first line says list people who do not live with you but the second says that the first reference must be a parent. Can I go ahead and put my father as a reference even though we have the same address?

    If you are a student then you should list one of your parents as the first reference, even if you have the same address. The second reference needs to live at a different address.

    It's not asking for two people who live at different addresses from you--it's asking for two people who live at different addresses from each other. If you are a student, then one would be your parent (even if that parent lives with you), and the other would be a person who lives at a different address from your parent. For example, your mother who lives with you, and your aunt who lives in another town. If you were a parent borrower, then you would list two people who don't live with you and don't live with each other.
