Q: When I ask siri to call "father" it calls me instead.

I'm not new to Siri.  I use it all the time to call people while I'm driving.  I have set up all the relationships for family members and have used this for a couple years now.  But, lately when I ask Siri to call "my father" or "my mother" or "my wife" - She calls me instead.  I've deleted all the relationships and put them back in.. same thing.  Any ideas?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.2

    I  have the same problem. It just started this week. Before this it worked fine. Suddenly Siri didn't remember who I was so I created a new contact card for myself. Since then it keeps calling my number. If I delete my number from my contact card & ask it to call my mom, it says "Uh oh. I don't have a number for (me)"

    Yes this happens for me as well when I try calling my mom or dad. However, sometimes the glitch goes away and it'll randomly work but 9 times out of 10 Siri will think I'm trying to call myself. Has anyone else figured out a solution?

    Same problem here.  My old iPhone 4 started doing that and I thought it was something wrong with the phone.  When I got my new 6s, it worked fine for about 2 months, and then it started having the same issue.  It seems to be a software problem with Siri, but I cannot get it to call my mom or dad.  It just calls my own number.
