[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least in my family, there is no such thing as too much sharing with the grandparents. Outside the family is of course different, and aunts and uncles are probably different, but grandparents want to hear it all (and would be hurt if we didn't share).[/quote]

+ 1 DH and I have a text chain with his and my parents. We send near daily photos of cute stuff the kids are doing and new achievements. If we don’t send anything for a few days they check in wanting updates. I’m pretty sure grandparents love alllll the grandkid spam (I mean not all day long, but once or twice a day). I’m close with my mom so she and I also have running text chats, which largely have to do with how the kids are doing. My parents live out of state and we can’t go see them due to COVID. So I think frequent pictures and FaceTime calls help them feel in touch.

Aunts/Uncles are on FB and see our posts on there. Occasionally we may send them something we’re only sharing with family. Maybe it helps that our nephews and nieces are much older whereas we have kids 5 and under. So there’s no weird braggy/competition concerns. Not that I’m sure there would be even if they were the same age. But overall we are happy to celebrate their college acceptances and high school honors. And we share milestones and cute little kid stuff.[/quote]
