How much info do you share with extended family?

I am close to my sibs and there are a lot of cousins around the same age. We are pretty open about these things–we might share scores, colleges that our kids are applying to, scholarship offers, etc. We also share struggles, problems, ask for advice/sympathy with parenting issues. Still, we are sensitive about bragging/exposing too much about our kids. I might brag about kids’ scholarships to family members whose kids are also top students. But I’m not going to bring up those subjects with another branch of the family whose kids have learning disabilities, don’t go to college.
