Humm ..no they are not always good to live in, cuz since there are so many ppls in the family.. sometimes maybe not everyone gets the help they need or w/e. And..yah, I kinda live in a joint family. (dun ask lolz)

What do you think are the advantages of joint families?

Well ...whn you live in a joint family..you...get better understanding of ur relations..like you really get to know ur cousins or who ever. Hummm..also like if a couple in a joint family..has a child..and if they work...they wouldn't need to put their kid at a baby-sitting place..cuz most likely someone will be at home.

The disadvantage?

Well since there are sooo many ppls, it might be hard to get your voice heard. And like...for example..going to the movies ( LOLZ) mite be a hard thing to do..for many reasons..1..u need to ask everyone if they wanna come ..2 ..u need to get the tickets.. and whn u have lots of tickets to get ..u just hope that..they won't be sold out ..lollz..and there are many other probs with going to the movies with a joint family (believe me, I know!)

sometimes no matter how much you care and are willing to give your in-laws just don't accept you and that's happen to me. All my in-laws care about is the son. It makes me very sad.

well, i am a pure ABCD. But, my husband wanted us to live with his father. so i accepted that thinking what could be so bad. 😕 When i got married, i thought living with my inlaws will be great and what not. BUT..as time went by and after i got pregnant, it just got soooooooooooooooooooo annoying. its irritating because you cant walk around the house in a tee-shirt, or go out without letting everyone in the house know, or ask for permission to put on music. After my baby came, we moved into our own place. dont get me wrong i didnt fight with anyone. i did the opposite...i became silent BOB. The privacy issue is really important to me and so thats why i just couldnt put up with not having any. my husband on the other hand is a PURE FOB!! His whole family is here. well, the good thing is that holidays/birthdays and other special occasions are fun and once a while just pop in for a visit. but god, they are just obsessed with their brother. its just freaking annoying. whatever though, at least i have my own place, my own rules, and my own kitchen!!! cuz the most irritating thing can be when you want to cook for your husband and you end up having to cater to everyone elses needs. and SAAS has to always butt in the kitchen. i hate to share my kitchen!!!! 😡 😆

thats exactly how i feel too. His sisters must call him more than me in one day . its freaking annoying. my other problem though is my husband has a step mother and his mom passed away when he was 14. So his sisters are even more sympethic to him. 😡 he's more a baby cuz of it.

dont worry, eventually it will end. How long have you been married? i have been married 3 years. so it just started to get a tad bit better maybe like a year so far its been better

joint families are nuh alwayz good to live in.. it depends how da family and da nature of da ppl are... i dun live in a joint family but ma mum lived in a joint family og 40 ppl.. yea thtzz tru FORTY ppl and tht a LOTTT... n m happy m nuh livin in a joint family.. i wudnt wanna live in one.. der r a lot of complications.. ders atleast one person who is against oders views...


What do you think are the advantages of joint families?
well der r advantages like.. when some rents are busy workin or nuh home der r oders to take care of da kids.. da work is usually devided which makes less work for individual person..


The disadvantage?
a lotttttt... u cant do wuh YOU wanna do.. u hafta keep askin ppl for permission.. u hafta keep doin wuh oders want u to do.. specially if ur a bahu of da house thtzz it.. all da rules have extrra duties for u... its soo much work.. cookin for SOO many ppl... even when u wanna spend time alone wid ppl u cant coz derz der mother n father and wuh not... its like an army.. its soo terrifyin 😆
