Re the husband being suspended thing. He probably should have kept his mouth shut BUT if he is anything like me he probably has trouble understanding why when he is CONSTANTLY letting other peoples offensive remarks go and bending over backwards to accommodate other peoples demands and weird needs, other people get so bent out of shape about what seems to him to be trivial.
It took me until I was 40 to work out I was using a different code and I still can't predict what will offend.
Random punishments for offences I didn't understand didn't help.
However in the OPs case her daughter seems aware of what she did so just tell her and move on. Some of the other posters need to try and help their children understand other peoples rules.
Eta. I didn't mean that in a judgemental way as in you SHOULD. I just meant that in some cases explicit instruction is required. I am going to have to find someone to teach my kids this if they haven't worked it out by 10 or so.
