Which family system is better a nuclear system or a joint family? in a nuclear family only the husband wife and children live together whereas in the joint family you have to live with your mother-in-law, father-in-law and also the husband brothers and sisters and so on there are some advantages of joint families specially when the children are young there will be many people who can help out even the mother may be able to pursue her career, there may occassional outbursts as they have to be very disciplined and have to listen to the elders,nuclear family there is more freedom but no help the parents have to manage all things by themselves, which do you'll think is better?
