Note: This really isn’t any issue but I want to see what others think about it.

How often and how much information do you share with your relatives (specially on social media?)

I and begum are at odds on this. She is of the opinion that excluding immediate relatives (like my parents and hers), information should only be shared on ‘as per need’ basis.

For example,

If kids did something fantastic, or got some prize in some contest etc, she is of the opinion to not post the pics and news on FB because “kisi ki nazar bhi lag jatee hai kahi kabhi”

If we are at Pizza Hut waiting for pizza, and I update my FB places she is like “why does world have to know that we are at Pizza Hut”

(thats becasue world should know that you did not cook today too )

On the other hand, I really dont care and when it comes to kids, I think it really encourages them, if they get a call from some cousin in Pakistan congratulating them on whatever they did because they saw the pics on FB.

I don’t mind sharing stuff with relatives and friends, but for the most part will not do it with social media. I also won’t necessarily go out of the way to tell anyone. For my parents and inlaws, we could call them and tell them about it. Aside from that, it would have to come up somehow for most others to hear about it.
