Sounds like you may be using the same Apple ID for iMessage on your phones. To keep your identities straight you all need to use a different Apple ID for iMessage (you can keep the same one for store purchases if you want). To change the ID, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, sign back in using a different Apple ID.
