It was nice when I had dial up computer, no one could reach me. Now I am fast speed, but I have a phone with caller ID and it identifies who is calling in a loud voice. I rarely answer the phone. Have you thought of getting your kids a trac phone, with a limited amount of minutes and when the minutes are used up--OH WELL, get some work done and earn some money for a new card. Many years ago when my son was still at home and would get the tons of calls, we did not have caller ID in our area so I called the telephone company and told them that I would still be paying the bill but had an Uncle who had come to live with us and needed the phone in his name-they said OK, so I put the phone in "his" name, Patrick William. Little did the phone company know that Patrick William was my dog. It was wonderful plus the fact I did not tell my son the new number, whenever he would say that a friend could not reach him, I just told him the phone was broke. I admit, I was an evil mother.

I can't stand the phone....cell or home. I have my ringer turned off and can hear anyone leaving a message on the answering machine. If I don't want to hear that I turn off the answering machine. Aggie thought it was strange when we first started dating....He's used to it now and wonders why he never did it before.
Glad (still) I don't have any children. My phone and doorbell rings enough.

Call me crazy... but, I grew up in a house with three girls and a boy, and... as far as teenagers and the phone, that's the way it's supposed to be !!! 
I used to get 'caught' all the time on the phone at like 1:00AM with my BF...lol, I'd have the phone cord stretched up the stairs, and the door shut in it... hoping no one could hear... Dad would just hang the phone up, I knew it when it went dead... LOL!!
You may not believe it right now... but, you're gonna miss all this some day.
In all honesty... you seem like a perfectly normal, wonderful dad !
Trust me, my Dad used to threaten, beg, order etc... before he passed away, he talked about how 'alive' the house was then. LOL, he used to say he felt like Al Bundy...

Seeing as you have had this problem before.... you are lax in enforcing rules.
You cannot blame other children for not following your wishes if you so not make them clear and stick to them. People (especially young ones) will push and try... it is the adult that has to set boundaries and use border patrol!
It is your home, your phone and whether people get into your house is your decision.
Be the adult: be a dictator: be rude.
But be the parent and stand up to the issue.
So hard, not to facepalm some people

Sunday my 11 y/o sons friend called. I told him He's outside playing. 5 minutes later he calls again. I again said He is outside playing. 5 minutes later AGAIN I picked up the phone and said He is STILL outside playing I will have him call you when he gets in! GAH then all last week I was getting calls from an 800 # I started answering them. They were asking for a Stacy Peterson she lives 6 blocks from me. I tell the gal You have the wrong # she does not live here she lives about 6 blocks from here. "well do you have a # we can reach her at?" NO I don't! "well how do you know her and not know her #? Are you related?" NO we AREN'T related and the only reason I know her is because sometimes I get her mail and vice versa so we bring the mail to each other. "Well this is the # we were given" Well she doesn't live here! This same gal called every farking day then Friday same # calls and I answer this time it's a guy asking for Stacy. I said Look I am really trying to not be rude but a gal has been calling here all week long asking for Stacy I have told her she does not live here she is of no relation to me and I do NOT have a # you can reach her @ I am sick and tired of telling her the same thing every d*mn day! All he said was I'm very sorry I'll remove your # from our system. Why couldn't that b*tch do it the first day I told her Stacy doesn't live here.
