[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The solution here is to put your phone number for both parents. Moms do this all the time. [/quote]

Yup. Either you have to keep track of who you need to follow up with, or you put your number for both. And reserve your wife’s number for “in case of emergency”. I think it’s too much to expect that every doctor’s office receptionist, every seasonal summer camp counselor, every teenaged office assistant, etc, will abide by a flowchart of who to call.

It's too much to expect them to see "primary" next to a number and call that one instead of default to the woman?  If so, we have serious problems with education.[/quote]

I didn’t say that. I said that they are not bothered to follow a flow chart, which is why some moms, including me, are saying to put their own number down for both.

That’s what I do, because even though I’m the primary contact, they often call my frequently out of the country husband. He’s listed as secondary, but he still got called and emailed first about 20-30% of the time. I list my number for both primary and secondary, list his for emergency, and list a family email that we share for email contact. That’s what I would suggest for OP. [/quote]
