One or both of my sons - they are 5 and 7 - got hold of my husband’s phone this morning, called 999 and asked for the fire service. I don’t know which it was yet as they’re both at school.
I am obviously mortified but know I won’t be alone.
What is an appropriate punishment? I am planning on an appropriately serious conversation about wasting emergency service time plus no screens for a week. I will also ask my firefighter friend to have a chat about the seriousness of his job.
Do you think that’s enough? I am very surprised they’ve done this. They get a bit silly and egg each other on when overexcited (and I expect it was a combined effort) but are generally thoughtful kids.
