Your memory is reminding me of a question that I have long been wondering about the answer to.

But to answer your question:
My parents answering the phone when a family issue is in progress? Not gonna happen! Honestly they often didn't even answer the phone under normal conditions.

In our house, during the day, we'd have Mr K, Ms J, or Mrs B around to take a message. Depending on how urgent the message was, it might go right to my parents, or wait until convenient for them.

There was a separate phone number in my Grandparent's part of the house, but it was pretty rare for anybody to call them as far as I know. Usually if they did, I guess that it would be for the business, and Grandfather could pick up the same line in his office at the lumber yard.

Grandfather also had a secretary.

(The lumber yard was technically on the same stretch of property, just up the way across two of the lots. So a lotofthings were connected.)

Then at night there was nothing considered emergency enough that answering the phone right then and there was a necessity. My parents and grandparents always just figured if it was that serious of an emergency, someone would be sent to the house to rouse them.

And then there was always the answering machine.

Funny thing is that I don't remember things being all that dramatically different at my best friend's house either. And her parents probably disciplined me as often or more than my own, but I don't recall the phone ever being allowed to interrupt it.

And their's was a much smaller house. That said, I don't recall the phone ever ringing while dealing with us. So perhaps they would have. Honestly, I barely remember their phone ringing at all.

I do know for sure that they had a phone, because my parents would once in a while leave a message for Brother and I if we were on that side of the property. We were in the habit of checking with her parents before heading back across the ravine towards our house.

I also recall their phone ringing during dinner with them a couple of times. And I'm sure that I must have called my house from their phone. But actually talking to my parents over the phone that was a little rare.

Rather than the phone, what I remember is that they just almost always had somebody over at their house playing cards or whatnot. People just seemed to do things in person back then. Especially at their house.

So I could be wrong. It's just that I don't recall the phone ever ringing whenever they were dealing with something with us kids.

But if the family was having dinner and the phone did ring, even if we were eating with them, it would just go to the machine. If it were my parents calling to ask about us, then my parents would just understand and leave a message on the machine.
