    My wife has a heart of gold, but recently her family asked her to mind some of their children, behind her back they all organized a day out for themselves together while she would be minding their kids, she found out and she is very hurt by this, is there any advice I can give her to salvage this situation so they can all stay talkin, thanks

    Did they ask her to mind the kids and give her a false pretence of why she would be minding them whilst planning a family event that excluded her? If that's the case, that's very disrespectful and dishonest and if I were her, I'd be having it out with them for being tricked into minding the kids.

    Oh that's horrible, your poor wife :(
    If i were you id organise a little weekend away or a meal out with your wife to cheer her up and forget about them i wouldn't bother trying to salvage anything that should be their job.
    The only reason i could see their point is if there's a bit of an age gap, are these sisters and she's their aunt or something like that? That's the only acceptable reason i can imagine for them leaving her out like that. She's lucky to have a husband who is concerned for her feelings like that. All the best.

    You must be furious at them for hurting her like that, and I think it very generous of you to want to salvage something for her.

    The responsibility for fixing things lies with those who did the damage. I think you should tell her family that she was hurt by their behaviour, and that you expect them to make things up for her.
