Joint Family Vs Nuclear Family - Which One is Best (Last Part of 3 Articles)

It's 6 AM in the morning and I have to wake up to finish the article for today because I would leave for home today and won't have time to write it then. As you all may know today the last part of three articles will be published. The first Part (Advantages and Disadvantages of Joint Family System) and 2nd Part (Advantages and Disadvantages of Nuclear Family System) are already published and today I will try my best to write about which family system is best among these two family systems. https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/advantages-disadvantages-of-joint-family-system-part-1st-of-next-3-articles-9700babe https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/advantages-disadvantage-of-nuclear-family-pt-2nd-of-3-articles-58b19927 I have lived in both kinds of families. I have lived in a nuclear family when I and my brother were not married. We were a short family at that time and I am currently living in a Joint family. When I and my brother are married and have children. So, I have experienced both family systems. When I was living with my parent before my marriage, I felt kind of bored because there was no entertainment factor in our house. Entertainment comes when you have a large number of members. When you have a short family and everyone is busy with their life, then you get to see a boring family. Most of our relatives who got fed up with their joint family visited our family for a break. And they always liked how peaceful and calm our family is but I always disagree with them at that time as I wanted to live in a joint family system. I always wanted to live in a joint family system when I was a child and I would even fancy it more whenever I visited my cousin's family who was living as a joint family. I loved seeing my uncles living together. I was fed up with my family because I was bored and alone and I needed someone to have fun with me like playing and other fun activities. And it would be the feelings of most children living in a nuclear family in my opinion. When I and my brother got married and we both got blessed with children. Our family became a joint family after that. My wish of living in a joint family got fulfilled but after living in a joint family I understood that a joint family may look amazing but deep down there are some serious issues with it. I have stated all the issues in my previous article So I will not write it down again. I developed this feeling when I was an adult. So this brought me to the conclusion that children love to have fun in a joint family while adults enjoy being in a nuclear family. Priority changes when a child becomes an adult. And I made this opinion from my personal experience. I think we can make both the families work if we want to. Children crave having fun in the nuclear family so we can fulfill their craving by giving them time and become a child for them. Also, adults love to have some personal space in the Joint Family system and we can make some arrangements for them. Like my mother used to send my wife and my brother's wife to their parent's house to have some peace of mind after some time. Family members in the joint family should respect everyone's decision and do not interfere in each other's personal matters. Married sons should also make some rules like no interference when it comes to parenting their child in the joint family system. Mostly, Parents of the house need to be a little kind and compassionate and don't make the rules hard which can lead to the suffocation of their sons and their families. Nothing is perfect in this world, not even one family system but we have to make it work. No family system is either full best or worst, there will be always negative and positive aspects to it. `"All we have to do is, make it work"`. -Stephen Hawking You guys can totally disagree with my opinions in the comment section. And sorry if I have missed any point in there. I would love to hear out your thoughts about it. Thank you very much for reading it.
