Does it bother you when someone calls and ask if such so is in

It doesn't really bother me when my daughter's friends call and ask if she is in. I like to make a game of it. Usually, I will be a smart butt and say "she sure is". And then I will just hold the phone. Eventually, they will get the hint and ask if they may talk to her, because they know that if they ask if they "can" talk to her, I will say something like "I don't know. Can you?"

It never bothered me when my kids friends called and asked if they were their. I would just get the kid the call is for to the phone.

Hi Venshida,

I never been bother when the friends of my son is called the
home and asked about him, and also I am so happy to give the phone to
my kids in order to have the good chatting or may they clear any doubts
in the subjects. Most of the times friends are used called me in the home
and asked for the kids to speak to clear the doubts and also need to clarify
their doubts in the class room works. So I am wishing them to have the good time
to clear the doubts in their subjects.

Have a wonderful day.

It seems you're having problems with the manners of your daughter's friends. Kids today, in general, have less values inculcated into their system. Yes, its bothersome when they don't have proper phone etiquette. But the good news is, you can teach them the proper way to call.

So next time someone calls and is impolite, tell him/her that he/she should say this/that.

I guess that's what parents like us these days complain about. I also answer calls from rude kids demanding to speak to my kids. I get irritated, sure. But I don't hold it against them because I understand that this generation is way different from mine.

It's just the way it is these days especially in some households where kids are not scolded anymore from being impolite.

What I make sure though is to teach my kids to be polite when they are the ones to call their friends. I remind them not to annoy their friends' parents by being obnoxious like their friends are.

oh no when my kids friends used to call here and they are like can i talk to (kids) name. i would be like yes you may when you learn to ask the pollite way first or i would say yes and hang up. and when they call back and ask why i hung up well i figure you was asking if you could not asking if you may speak to them at this time. oh i dif will say something to them.
