Do you still do this even if it's your family or your in laws?



I'll answer if it is my family, but if it is my ILs, I'll usually let the machine get it



same with me, how bad is that?Chat Icon

Re: Answering the phone at home..

We screen all the time.

If it's for DH, he answers.
If it's for me, I'll answer.

If we don't feel like answering, we let the machine get it. Even if it's family.

That's what caller ID and answering machines are for, right? Chat Icon

Re: Answering the phone at home..

Hell's yeah - I am "on" all day long at work - talking to kids, teachers, parents on the phone - all day!
I barely speak on the phone anymore esp not during the week - don't have the patience and need my quiet time! Thank goodness for caller ID!

We don't have a house phone, we use our cell phones so YES we screen. Especially when it's family.

Rarely ever because I'll forget to call that person back! If I'm in the middle of doing something though and I REALLY can't get to the phone then I'll let it go and make sure I call them right back.

Yup- we actually have a different ring (double tone) for our family and friends and if we're not by the phone to see who it is- everyone else goes to the answering machine.
Then if we hear it and it's someone we want to talk to we'll pick up. The joys of optimum Chat Icon

Re: Answering the phone at home..

I love caller ID, usually screen later at night, as I am in bed early. For some reason, DH hates to answer the phone, would rather it go to voicemail...it drives me crazy!

Re: Answering the phone at home..

We have caller ID, and even have it display on the TV. If we know who it is, and want to talk to them, we'll pick it up, but otherwise we let the machine get it.
