NTA. Sister acting ridiculous over not receiving a big gift.
“YTA I was gonna say N A H until you said in comments you made the blankets for your mother and grandmother as well. Now it’s no longer associated as wedding gifts but just a gift from you so your excuse doesn’t fly anymore. Sure she’s not entitled to ANYTHING. But if my sibling feels hurt and excluded even if I didn’t mean to do that I sure as hell will try to fix it.”
