Do you know your DC's phone numbers?

Because I totally don't.

I was just setting up a subscription for my DD and it dawned on me that I have no idea of her number or DS so if I lost my contacts I would have no idea of their numbers. I've now made it my mission for the day (or maybe week with my peri meno brain) to learn them off by heart.

Just wondering if was same for others or if I'm being totally remiss by not knowing them?

No but I imagine they’ll WhatsApp when they want something.

God no, ,I don't know my own phone number
The only phone number I know is my parents landline and that's be cause they have had the same one for over forty years .

I wouldn't have a clue. I do write them in my diary though in case I lose my phone.

No, adult DS has had his number for nearly 20 years as well, it isn't helped by it just being his name in contacts, if the number was shown I would probably remember it. I don't know DHs either.

I know DHs but he's had the same since I knew him and pre smart phones.

I think I might write them down...

Yes, all of them and mine and DP's. Its weird because I have an almost photographic memory when it comes to numbers but am not at all mathematical.

No, I have to look it up if I'm filling it in on anything. I do have a whiteboard at home with both DS & DHs (and my) numbers on though. I'm old enough to have lived when we only had landlines and I knew loads of numbers off by heart. I can still remember my childhood landline number.

No, but I do know their email addresses, so if I lost my phone, I could easily email them and ask them to remind me what their phone numbers are.

Nope 🤦🏼‍♀️ but they know mine, which I do think is important

They definitely know mine, luckily mine is really easy to remember.
