I have always loved joint families.I grew up in one and i love them.I don't like nuclear families at all.However that is the biggest difference between a joint family and a nuclear family.In a joint family whatever the Bahu does,needs each and every person's approval whereas in a nuclear family it is not the case.I think that is why a lot of my married friends who are used to the nuclear family system get very very frustrated when they get married in to a joint family system.They always complain that there is way too much interference.I can now see why-

It's easy to satisfy and understand, one person in nuclear family... In joint family you have to get approval of all the members and have to satisfy all ..

i have to agree.. not married yet but nonetheless live in a nuclear family and personally i like that i only have my parents to answer to and not a whole extended family.. but i guess it's also a matter of what a person is used to.. i have friends who live in joint families who can't imagine living in nuclear families or 'empty houses' as they call it!

I have Grown up in Joint Family... and My Best Friend had Grown Up in Nuclear...

I have seen in almost all phases of Our Life... She had told me everytime.. Why Wud you seek permission from your Dada-Dadi, Uncle-Aunty or other family members... Ask You Parents and if They agree then go for it... 😊

For me, I had always told her... Why aren't you letting your Dada-Dadi know?... why didn't you meet your uncle-aunty when you went to India... 😕 and she wud say what's the need... 😉😆😆😆

If I were to send something to India... I wud send it for my Cousins too.. and she wud be like... why wud you send for all😕 and I wud say... why wud you not send for your cousins😉😆

So, yes Difference Lies in how you have grown up... 😃 I have observed it very closely in both of our cases... 😃 and seeing me She had decided to Marry in Nuclear Family only coz She knew She wud have never been able to manage in Joint Family... and Luckily She found one with Nuclear concept😉😆
