Both father and caregiver blessed the child in my case.
February 2021 - last edited February 2021
Had my Sims attend the Festival of Youth with their daughter earlier today and just saw the "Unloved, Unblessed?" moodlet on her so I looked up the issue and found this. I'm sure both parents blessed her with youth because I remember them blessing her. She even has the sentiment about one member of the household (that isn't related to her or the family) and that member didn't go!
Also I play on Xbox so it's not just happening for PC users, it seems.
EDIT: Like someone else said, my Sims' daughter also got the good sentiment of being blessed while at the festival after she was blessed by them, but I guess like everyone else the good sentiment changed to the negative one after they got home.

My children were sad and are now furious at each other over not receiving a blessing. Just because we live in the same neighborhood where the festival takes place and they were over there drawing. I saw hats mentioned in this thread but the game doesn't prompt you at all regarding how to bless someone and now they are just so angry at each other.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.86.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Snowy Escape, Eco Living, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get To Work Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Parenthood, Dine Out, Jungle Adventure, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat Nifty Knitting, Laundry Day, Tiny Living, Toddler, Bowling Night, Vintage Glamour, Perfect Patio, Backyard, Movie Hangout
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to Festival of Youth with kids and parents.
What happens when the bug occurs? The parents bless the kids at the festival but after the festival ends, the kids have a "hurt sentiment" towards their parents from being unblessed.
What do you expect to see? NOT a hurt sentiment when they clearly got the blessing from their parents :-)
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I blessed both children by both parents - I even took pictures of all 4 blessings taking place to be sure they were happening. At the festival, the kids get the "Fun at Youth festival" sentiment towards their parents, but once they get home, they have a "Hurt sentiment" from not being blessed at the Youth Festival.
It has happened twice now.
I didn't try with the Hat.
I tried cheatcodes:
modifyrelationship firstname lastname firstname2 lastname2 -100 sentimentTrack_HURT_ST_
with lots of variations, like changing the last part out with:
LT_generic
ST & LT:
_unblessed
_FestivalOfYouth
_festival
etc. but NONE will remove the hurt sentiment.
I'm so annoyed to have to play another week with my sim kids being sad or angry whenever they're around their parents, and the parents subsequently being sad around their children (from being sad about someone nearby being sad).
Miserable household!
I looked around and didn't see any solution... I don't have the option to toggle off sentiments in the gameplay menu, so I can't even do that. Help!

ALTERNATIVE WAY TO REMOVE HURT SENTIMENT FOUND
I just want to add that I experimented with cheats a little and found a way to get rid of the hurt sentiment.
I used:
modifyrelationship firstname lastname firstname2 lastname2 100 sentimentTrack_Adoring_LT_generic
Firstname + lastname = the kids name
Firstname2 + lastname 2 = the parents name
You have to do it 3 times for it to work. The first time, nothing happens.
The 2nd time, the hurt sentiment will be halved. The third time, the hurt sentiment will be replaced by the "Adoring" sentiment.
PS. It doesn't work on Sims with double names (e.g. Mary Kate in their firstname) - you have to change their name so it's only one name in each. Had to find that out the hard way too.
Just putting this here in case anyone's in the same situation as me.

Child Sims will no longer get the Unblessed sentiment after getting Blessed at the Youth Festival. Children should only get the Unblessed sentiment if they ask Yamachan about a Voidcritter Hunt and also avoid getting the Blessing of Youth from an Adult Sim as well. #Blessed
Fixed in Patch 1.73.48/ 1.40
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
Good Luck
