I have recently told my elder sister that Mr Stork is taking its time to drop a parcel off to my house. Since then anytime we talk about her children I get a response of "You don't have kids so you don't understand" Am I being oversensitive to be hurt by this comment.
Many many thanks for your replies in advance.

Thanks for the advice from everyone.
Thanks also for all the advise which was sensitive to how I am feeling right now.

Well I hope you get your wish soon enough Cinnabon, and meanwhile, try and listen to what your sister's saying but tell her in a nice way that it upsets you a little bit when she makes references to you not having a baby yet. It's understandable hun, but best of luck to you. x

nite nite everyone thanks alot for all advice
I love noknow's sense of humour! Mwhahaha.
The thing is, nk, women can't help being sensitive over such issues. My friend had to wait for over 20 years before she got her dearest wish, and it was very distressing to see her watch other people have their families - and grow up. Suddenly, she became pregnant naturally, at the age of 45. It made you cry with joy to see her shock and delight. Well, she's now been blessed with TWO children, and she's the happiest, most loving of mums, but this doesn't happen for everyone, and the slightest words can be very upsetting. x

That is so true. A friend of mine didnt conceive for ages and it was really hard for her when her friend got pregnant after only a month of trying. She had to be happy for her but contain her mixed emotions at the same time. (She is now pregnant by the way and over the moon)
You're not being over sensitive cinna - she's being insensitive. Infertility in someone who wants children can be heartbreaking. She should think herself lucky to have children and be more understanding.
hello,

i know how you feel... well sort of, i am really oversensitive and i wish i wasnt but i do take things to heart, nothing wrong with being offended,

its unfair to say that to you to be honest, just keep your chin up and try not to take any notice
