to think my children should not be able to work out how to record over my answerphone messages

[oiFoiF]

its bloody embarassing

its happening several times a week and important people are ringing my house and going 'oh er i suppose this is an answering machine'

This morning it was my social worker 'oh hahaha ring me back mrs x'

so i checked the message and is dd breathing heavily and ds1 shouting 'we want to plaaaayyyy'

Mind you at least they were not killing each other....

Does anyone else answerphone have this 'fault'?

Lol

Be proud. There are plenty of adults that couldn't do it

My 15-month old regularly does! In fact, you've reminded me I need to record another one as she's also wiped the factory set one

No but my 19 month old regulary answers the phone after just one ring so I don't even know it's rang. I'll come into the room and she's babbling away to whoever. It was the landlady the other day she'd been babbling away for a good 5 minutes whilst I'd been in the kitchen. Luckily she saw the cuteness of it.

i am glad tohers do it, i thought it was just my little devils

Yep, you should be encouraging this kind of behaiour.
