Was I in the wrong ?

My almost 3 year was crying because she isn’t allowed juice as it causes skin irritation but all her cousins got juice. So I comforted her and my sister said this is why she is moody. I told my sister maybe if you put your children before your childish partner I’d listen to your advice.
