Well,I prefer joint family.I think staying in a joint family we can share happiness and sadness.Living alone I mean nuclear family I think there are lots of problems.Though nowadays people want nuclear family so that they can stay in their own way but I like to stay joint family.

I'm from a patchwork family made-up of little bits and pieces of marriages and remarriages. My mother is on her 3rd marriage, my father has been married twice and another stepfather was married three times.
All in all, I would not change my patchwork family of anything in the world. Thanks to the patchwork, I have relatives of various races and religions and in various parts of the world and I've recieved love from all of them, and think that's made my life so much richer.

Joint family is a system in which the person, his parents, his wife, his brothers and their families live under the same roof, have common kitchen and they are ready to help each other out when in need. This was the system followed in India previously.

Thank you. Here in the States it would be called your extended family.I think if you can get along with your parents and your siblings and all the spouse can get all too, a joint family would be great.All the parents would have the support they need when raising the children.
But if your parents get on your nerves.And your spouse doesn't get along wit your parents, a joint family would be a bad idea.There would be too much stress. it may even be a reason for a divorce.

I would prefer a nuclear family staying jointly it means that staying in the same building but having different doors to their houses. than i feel that poeple would be together as well as apart and there will defiantely be bonding between each other and they would also be having a house of thier own.
i feel in todays world people needs other people and need to have a lot relations but these days they try to make relations in their friends rather than in thier actual relation.They would prefer to go far from thier relatives and be with thier freinds but this is a wrong attitude. they would treat their freinds royally but they are unable to treat thier relatives in that manner.

very rightly said sang. The importance of relatives is decreasing and that of friends is increasing. The probable reason to this as I think is the difference in the financial standards between the relatives.As people are now a days being more materialistic and they bond with people from whom they would benefit in one way or the other. Thats why they don't treat relatives but treat friends in a hearty manner.
