Why am i getting some text messages on both but other texts only on my ipad? i tried changing it to receiving and sending only on my phone number and not my apple id but it keeps sending messages to my ipad and not my iphone randomly.

If iPad has another Apple ID then you need to check which iPhone is sending messages to the Apple ID.

Messages on iPad are forwarded through an iPhone.

On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.

Since you said the same iMessages is not on your iPhone there are only two possibilities

The messages are deleted on your iPhone. Enable Guided Access before handing over an iPhone to kids
The message is forwarded from another iPhone to Mac/iPad which uses the same Apple ID but a different Phone number. Please call the person who sent you the messages and get confirmation about the phone number to which the messages are being sent.
