I send my itinary to my family because I want them to know where I am when I go on my big trips. They send it to me when they go away so we have an inkling of where they are when. But also, if they don't send it, nobody is going to panic or get anxious about it.
Sometimes we're more detailed "I'm leaving to go up to visit the stepbrother at X o'clock" because someone need to drop something by or pick something up, feed a pet, or water the garden. There are reasons other than "I'm anxious and worried" (or controlling and demanding).
But also, we live fairly close and in each others' pockets. I'll call mum and drop in for dinner. Mum will ask if I have something that she can drop off at our house.
Maybe if the sistren and I were married with our own families, there'd be more space between us and the parentals, but we're good with it so far as I know, and they're informed but not interfering. (Well, the stepdad might try sometimes, but we push back on him.)
