I’m glad your daughter had a great time and I feel a bit sorry for the pastor’s son who wasn’t allowed to go…
I reckon you shouldn’t take it too personally. Maybe she’s a bit paranoid about ‘bad’ music and keeps her son home from lots of parties. I guess that’s the sort of thing that leads to pastors’ children having a reputation for being wild…
You don’t *have* to like the pastor’s wife. If she doesn’t realise that you have the sense to censor teenage party music, then she obviously doesn’t know you very well. She could always have phoned you to ask about the music if she was concerned. I can see why you’d feel annoyed at her. But disliking her doesn’t make you a bad person. If she’s prepared to make judgements about you without knowing you very well and without contacting you, then I reckon your reaction is reasonable. And we don’t have to like everyone in this world… it’s just not possible. As long as you can be polite to her when you have to speak to her, that’s really all that common decency requires.
Just my two cents.
