Yes, all of that is true - but I doubt that you will get anywhere with these people if you tell them this.
I would stick to the exact facts. Including the fact that they are not welcome in your home again. Detail the damage done and tell them that you felt they should know. Also, let them know how much time it took you to clean this up. Let them know how you feel about this - it's a fact too - just don't go overboard. Make sure your hubby reads your email first. The one thing I hate about the written word - (yeah, I know it's all we've got on YT
) - sometimes things come across differently than we intended them.
Do they offer some parenting classes at your church - can you sign these folks up
-- I would be so tempted to slip some Bible verses in the email. I think it is great they you are willing to put this effort into letting them know how you feel - I would be tempted to be a wimp & just never open my home to them again.
So what did your mutual friend have to say about the entire event? She should be thrilled these brats aren't coming to her wedding.
