Not receiving Screen Time requests after update

Since this week’s iOS update, I’m no longer receiving Screen Time request notifications from my kids. The request is now coming through in iMessage on my MacBook Pro but is not clickable. So is totally useless. And then the request message doesn’t even show up in the same text thread on iPhone. I cannot find settings for this anywhere. Anyone else? Help!

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Thanks to spuppyjduen response, I went into my iphone under settings--messages--send and receive. Now, my phone number and @icloud email were checked but not my @me account or my apple account email. I checked mark both of them and then I started receiving my kids notifications for screen time approval. I think what did it for me was the @me account being checked. Now some of you may not have the @me account (depends what year you created the icloud account). To be safe, just check mark all the accounts and that should fix the issue. Hope this helps.
