Was I sensitive?

My sister in law had her daughter sent to an hospital in the middle of the night because of her asthma. But mom mentioned to the next morning that she have a heart problem as well, it's the same problem she had when she was born.
She asked me the next day if I had told mom about it but I told her I forgot. For some reason she didn't talk to me afterwards, that was until I felt the earth quake again.
You think I could have apologize for not telling about the emergency? I assumed Mom already knew the next day she talked about it.

Hello @Hatley I don't know what made her upset about it because I seriously thought mom already knew about it. Well, I hope she moves on from this situation, her daughter turned out alright.

If your mom already knew about it before you could tell her, I don't know why your SIL would be angry with you. Somebody told her and that's what counts! Tell her you're sorry but someone did your job for you and you'll try to do better next time.

Hello @dragon54u I don't know if she was angry or not. But she was a bit cold in Facebook and wasn't replying to some of my messages anymore. I'm sure she texted her the next day.

Hello @sjvg1976 maybe she felt hurt some how but I know she's already hurt for so many reasons.

I guess I shouldn't have asked or talk to her about it next time @jstory07 but I did because she's my niece.

I don't see the point why would she be mad at you. Maybe shes not talking to you because she have a lot of things in her mind and she's just busy too.

You're right @diosabella she has a lot of things in her mind and that's why I didn't bother her in the succeeding days.

@Letranknight2015 Maybe in the next succeeding days you should call her and ask how she is. That will be nice.

sounds like things that go on in my family. people act mad or irritated for no apparent reason. and act like you did something wrong when you do not know what and haven't done wrong at all

No, she just had a lot in her mind @bunnybon7 that's all. But this time I'm not making any mistake, I make sure I tell mom.

I did apologize to her this evening and she accepted it @prinzcy maybe she thought I didn't understand the situation well enough not to tell mom. To be honest I know she's having a lot of problems now a days.

I can see where she might think you didn't care enough to tell, but if you forgot, you can't change it. You could apologize for forgetting.

There's nothing I can do about it if they have health problems @OreoBrownie I don't know what words of comfort I should tell her.

may i ask why your sister-in-law wanted your mother to know about that incident? maybe she wanted comfort from your mother?
i believe those older than us should not be told about immediate problems because they might get upset, and anxious as well.

Hello @ridingbet I guess you're right, I didn't know about my niece's chest pain until she told me about it. Mom loves our family and wouldn't hesitate to help no matter how serious it is.

@Letranknight2015 that is an attitude of a mother, or a matriarch. i hope your niece is well now.

If I was you, I wouldn't have felt sorry for what I have done, but to avoid the situation which you are going through, rather than moving back from the situation I would rather face the situation, and if a single "SORRY" could sort out the problems, I would have went for it.

Hello @subhajitsil6 I agree with you that I should avoid the situation because there's nothing I can do about it.
