Bragging - telling my close family and siblings of my successes considered bragging?

[tortoiselover100]

So generally if something good has happened in my life I share it with my parents and siblings, assuming they have my back and are happy for me.

Examples - I got a good job that paid well; I bought a nice house in a posh bit of town; my kid did well at school etc.

My sister and her husband have been off with me a few times and disloyal at times, not inviting me to things the rest of the family are invited to.

Generally I am a higher achiever than my sister but I. So many ways she has done better then me, she has 2 properties, I only have one, she has had a long term marriage, I have struggled with relationships.

I found out this week from another family member that she thinks I'm always bragging.

I'm bit bragging, I'm telling me nearest and dearest my good news.

So AIBU to be honest about good things that happen to me? I always talk about the bad too, I certainly don't hide it.

Or AINBU because good things happening in my life make other people feel bad or inadequate.

I would love to hear your views!!!

I agree it's how you share news that's important. My siblings know my DD achieved the required grades for her first choice uni last week. I have not shared what those grades are. I am aware enough to know my niece struggles academically, they are similar age and comparisons are made. I try to ensure that I do not add to this with the finer details of my family news.
