Joint Family vs Nuclear Family --Your thoughts ? - Page 3

I find nuclear family better. Like peace!

Joint families are a pain in the ass!! Every single moment other see what you are doing, you are under scrutiny of others 24/7, if you have a more money than others, they constantly are pissed that you can afford things and they can't. Such things ruin the relationship; on the other hand if you live far away or only see each other on special occasions, it's so much easier to be nice.

no joint families for me; had a forgettable experience living in one I've lived in a joint family for 6 years of my life, and while we had our moments, it simply didn't work for me on the whole. no space, no freedom, no transparency (too much inter-relationship secrecy) and too much subtle friction between people to not notice. we hardly knew each other. I was closest to my grandmother and my dad and pretty much stuck to them, but whenever I was put in a situation where I had no choice but to get along with my aunts and uncles, that's when I felt screwed to the core 😆
