Is it me? Or is my sister easy to upset?

Question

So... She is pregnant. And when I first found out, she asked me not to tell our family things about the pregnancy, her situation etc. I respect that, and abide by it at her request. Today I asked her if she would be upset if I told our mom what she still wanted on her baby wish list. She got mad at me. Said that she is annoyed that I am asking her that. But... It falls under the whole "don't tell the family anything unless I say it's okay" deal, doesn't it?
It seems like no matter what I say, it's wrong. I can't tell them anything, but then I can. Everything changes... daily. I know pregnant people are hormonal... but, this just doesn't make sense. I was just trying to make her happy. I told her that... her only response. 'okay' She is still mad or annoyed or whatever... 
Am I crazy? Or is she just being unreasonable?

Your sister may be hormonal, but she shouldn't take it out on you.  If I was in your shoes, I would avoid her as much as possible.  If she asks why you're avoiding her, tell her the truth.

Sounds to me like she is not only hormonal, but may be having some personal problems/stressors that you're not aware of.  Bottom line...you have to try to remember that this is your sister.  I am pregnant with my 4th child and in every one of my pregnancies (usually early on/1st trimseter) I have gone through time period when I came out with some pretty off the wall stuff, but eventually those hormones level off and I'm fine.  I'm sure that she will be too.  I'm not saying, by any means, that you should tolerate being verbally abused, but just try to be a little easy going with her...eventually she'll be back to her old self and you wouldn't want things that you said to each other now to have a lasting effect on your relationship.

calm down sweety..... pregnancy has a way of making a woman seem insane. she feels like her emotions are all over the place and she just wants to feel normal again. so give her room to breath and let her deal in her own way. but be there when she need a shoulder to cry on. i know she seems nuts but she will get better.

it is all about her. she has her own world and understandings about that. I am that kind of person. I take offence quickly. I see that smt there is no reason, but my brain or a feelig tells me to get offended and show that. So i just tell to myself to have more control. Or we can get offended any time and in any situation.Don't worry. it is ok with you. Do how you feel, anyways, you cannot satisfy all people
