My texts go to the wrong number

I type in my husbands phone number and my daughters phone number receives my text. My settings for Send and Receive are correct - unique to each device. If my husband texs me I can text him back, but if my daughter texts me, it reverts back to her receiving all the texts I send my husband. This only happens on one device, the other devices don’t have this issue. We all share the same Apple ID account.
