I have always been an advocate for joint families, thought it was the way to go. But I recently visited family in India and lived in a joint family for a month. OMG It was not what I expected. I was left wondering maybe if I had been mislead all these years with my romantic notions of a joint family. So I wanted to come here and ask you guys which is better joint family or nuclear family?

Nah I'd prefer joint families. Nuclear fusion might cause an overload of atoms and result in an explosion, which will be hazardous for society as well as the environment. 😆

joint family is the only system in my opinion where all this can happen in one family at same time.
