How much info do you share with extended family?

We knew every kid’s SAT scores and GPA, what schools they wanted to apply to.

Not so much about kids in the extended family, how about your own kid(s)? Do you always know his/her GPAs, SAT scores, classes to take, etc.? (especially even when in college?)

Our own child let us know everything related to schools (high school, college and beyond), but regarding his social life, it is usually off the limit (except when he felt like to have a sympathetic listener.)

Actually, when our child was applying to colleges, he did not have a strong opinion on his list of colleges to apply to. If we wanted to “help” him come up with the list of schools, he would welcome our involvement because he thought he would have one less thing to be concerned about. (We were very “obsessed” with LACs back then. So the majority (80%?) of schools in the list are LACs.)
