Was told today I'm too sensitive and negative

Started talking about my children to my sister today.On how happy I am they are all growing up into amazing little people. And how sometimes I'm glad the baby days are over but also the things I miss. She is currently pregnant with baby number 2. She started telling me how negative I am about saying I'm glad my babies are growing up. Today my daughter climbed her first climbing frame by herself I sat and watched and enjoyed every minute. It was nice not having to chance after another young child. I wasn't being negative at all I was just stating how I felt. And how we can all now join in with the same actives without someone being left out. After I approached her she then said I'm being to sensitive after telling me I was being negative. I got quiet upset I don't think I did anything wrong she made me feel like I said something wrong. I was just stating how I feel. Is that a crime.

I get you. Your sister is projecting as she has it all to come again with a dependant little person, while you are out of the woods.

You were expressing gladness about your child and she said you were being negative? That’s crazy! Ignore her.
(Although you were perhaps slightly insensitive to tell your pregnant sister that you’re glad you don’t have to do the baby stuff any more!)

I hadn't spoken to my sister in a while and we were just chatting about anything and everything. I did tell her I miss the baby cuddles and all the cute things but I also told her that no matter how old ur babies get there's always a milestone or an adventure next to follow and I look forward to doing and seeing the next thing.

This. FFS, how hard is it, really?

Although I don't have to do it again I can enjoy my new little niece. I just feel like I can't say anything to her anymore without her takining it the wrong way.

She sounds incredibly sensitive. Possibly hormonal or maybe she is apprehensive about doing the baby stage again and you’ve sort of confirmed her reason to be and is defensive? I don’t know, it doesn’t sound like you’ve said anything negative to me
