DD and Friend hurt me yet I’m in the wrong?

DD had a friend over for a sleepover last night, they are 12. During the course of the night one or both of them wrote a “horror” message on the bathroom mirror which was a shock when I went in and saw it. I went in to speak to them both and DD screamed that I was embarrassing for crying. The friend looked shocked like she’d never seen an adult show emotion before and said they had done it to her mum too who had found it funny. She did apologise but added “it’s only lipstick, it wipes off easy”. DD then stormed out and told DH that I was embarrassing her and DH has taken their side saying it was a harmless prank and I need to lighten up.
Feeling so upset today. I thought DH would at least back me up.

@CustardySergeant Red rum spelled backwards is MURDER.
As in the Stephen King book and film

Murasaki. wHere does Red Rum come into the equation? Dear old boy is long gone ....

I admit I’d have shrieked had it been a hoofprint on the bathmat, and RAGREHS in Revlon’s Fire and Ice on the mirror 🙀

You were upset by what you saw and, prank or not, you weren’t unreasonable to respond accordingly. It sounds as though your daughter knew exactly how you’d react, so she shouldn’t be surprised, and will have to accept that if she is laughed at it will be because of her “prank” and she’ll have to find a way of dealing with it, just as she and her Dad expect you to.

That was not accordingly.

Are you always so dramatic. No wonder your poor DD was embarrassed. It's embarrassing. I don't understand how they "hurt" you?
