Well thats true all the discussions have two terminals, so between nuclear and joint familiy, I would prefer a Joint one. Thats because I suppose the advantages that a Joint family provides are quite surpassing those provided by a Nuclear family. All the joys and sorrows are tackled unitedly, wider front of relations. Kids, I feel, are more obidient in a Joint family than in Nuclear one, and also, there is always a team spirit in any decision taken.
Though for any relation to sustain, there must be cetain limitations as well which should be taken care of to ensure a happy living otherwise a Joint family would only end, as these days are ending, in several Nuclear families.
