So a few weeks ago with my daughters birthday my sister call to ask me for her shoe size, I told her no shoes because she really had to many already, she won’t be able to use them all. That’s all I said the day of the party my sister did not go because she said I did not tell her in time about the birthday party and she was not gonna go. she called again to ask what size of shoes so I told her once again no shoes but I told her the size she end up buying her something else after all. A few days go by I try to tell her thank you but I see tha am block. I left this morning to eat with my mom…. My mom Call her to go eat she said that she wasn’t in good terms with me because I was an a?€% for telling her not to buy my daughter shoes that I should be grateful for whatever they get for my daughter and that I was mean to her . So I show my mom the messages between me and her my mom said, I never was disrespectful to her. A few minutes later my sister called back insulting me calling me many many names telling me that I’m not allowed to be in her sons life I won’t be invited to my nephews birthday parties etc after my mom Click I really really felt bad I started crying because I don’t think I was wrong to tell her not to buy her shoes and even if I was wrong I think she’s taking it too far, to the point to say that I’m not allowed to be in my nephew life no more ..

Well......i kinda thing ESH. When someone is getting you (or your children) a gift, just be gracious and accept it. You can always exchange it later for something else. But unless it is something super huge like a car or soemthing that your child is not allowed to have or something you have a moral objection to, I say choose your battles. Just accept the gift, say thank you, and move on. It's not worth the fight. I also think your sister took it too far and is being a little bit extra with how she is behaving. But clearly her feelings are hurt. Give her a couple of weeks and apologize. It's not worth damaging your whole relationship over a pair of shoes.
