ADVANTAGES:
1. Unconditional love
–
Having more than your usually 3-4 members in a household gives you the extra dose of unconditional love and support. This can come from your grandparents, your aunts and uncles, your cousins and of course your parents. Kids who live in a joint family turn out to be more mature and caring.
2. Family Vacations
–
Travelling with your family in a mini-bus, taking over quarter of ever airplane and having the best “antakshari” sessions is unparalleled to any other experience. You get to travel more and travel bigger.
3. Responsibilities
–
Household chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning your bedrooms, arranging your books etc., can be a tedious task to handle alone. However, when you live in a joint family, the possibilities of you sharing a room are high, and thus responsibilities are divided. This will reduce the overall workload and make sure things get done more efficiently.
4. Sharing is caring
–
Have you always admired your cousin sister’s dresses, your uncle’s cool gadgets, also craved your grandmother’s delicious biryani. Well, if you live in a joint family, you have access to all these things. You can easily ask your cousin to borrow her dress, play with your uncle’s gadgets and gobble down your grandmother’s biryani.
5. Finances
–
As compared to a nuclear family, where financial responsibilities fall on the man and wife, a joint family is more economically friendly. With multiple earning individuals, the economic burden can be divided. This will allow you to individually have a larger disposable income.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. Privacy is Compromised
Lack of privacy is a common complaint among people who live in a joint family. You are never alone. If you are distressed and want to be alone and cry to let it out, you’d prefer crying in your bed and telling your sad stories to your pillow. But that’s not possible if you are living in a joint family. Everyone knows everything about all the members of the family and this leads to interference in daily matters. More often than not, this interference is not appreciated and people end up hiding things so that others mind their own business. You will always be surrounded by people and they will try to help you for your sake, but sometimes it gets too much.
2. A small Decision Runs by Everyone
The problem of living in a joint family is even a small decision has to go through and get a green signal by every member of the family, particularly the head of the family. Whether it is about going out after 7 at night or a sleepover at a friend’s place. Sometimes, even trivial matters are given so much attention that it annoys you.
3. Financial Responsibility
In a joint family, it is about ‘us’. When it comes to financial responsibility, usually, the ‘Karta’ (the head of the family) handles financial matters while other male members of the family contribute. However, many times it happens that the burden of 2 or more families is on the ‘Karta’ of the family, and other members become idle and the burden on one person only increases.
4. Interference in Parenting
Living in a joint family sometimes deprives you of taking right decisions for your child. As a mother, you might not get to parent your child the way you want to, because there will be others in the house who will keep teaching you about what to do and what not to do. This may create hindrance in your style of parenting and ultimately it fuels your anger.
5. Woes of a Common Kitchen
Generally, in a joint family, all female members cook together and for all. When it comes to food, everyone has different choices and catering to the demands of all often makes them tired. Also, people cannot cook what they want and they have to strictly adhere to the rules of the family. If the family is a vegetarian one, then it will be very difficult to cook an egg or non-vegetarian food in the same kitchen
