I am the second child in my family..I have seen my cousins taking birth and in total we are 6 children living together at one roof...I cant describe my childhood days!!!I never felt a reason to make new friends till I was a teenager..We cousins used to play like mad,all kind of games..indoor,outdoor,studying together,eating together,fighting together...We had utilized each corner of our home for various activities...The house was perfect n complete-A well,a garden,a play area... I remember every birthday was special for all,every cake was uniquely made and decorated... Those colorful days are just gone...Every1 in different cities to make there best career!!Could hardly meet during occasions..Oh!I miss them all,I miss those days!!! Joint family is the best place to live in......

Extended Family is what we commonly call them! Living in an extended family home is indeed fun when you get along well with all your relatives. However there are also some disadvantages with regards to living in one roof with other family members. We cannot avoid some misunderstanding that might arise when one family tries to interfere with the other family's affair. Well in my case i'm happy having a nuclear family and raising my son without the interference of my in laws. However, we also visit them and spend time with them during the weekends or on the holidays.

For me also Joint family is better than nuclear one...we find togetherness,sharing,laughter,and a community in joint families.
