u also said very true fact<br> <font color ="#3b5998"><b> @5fcd30f6b0bd2f004606f833 </b></font><font color ="#3b5998"><b></b></font><font color ="#3b5998"><b></b></font>...really it's very disappointed things...y they don't understand ...that time n things r not same as they think....

I was brought up in a&nbsp; nuclear family. I have my hubby's family living next door. I sort of have a&nbsp; nuclear cum joint family.&nbsp; She misses her own grandparents especially her grandma. If MIL was alive Aanya would have been closer to her. Kids need their grandparents. When there is any tension between&nbsp; family members it effects the child very much.&nbsp; Hubby's SIL never got on well with anyone she always have issues especially with me&nbsp; and I always try to keep peace.&nbsp; Once something happened and she stopped her daughter from meeting Aanya. Aanya cried a lot and suffered from fever .Hubby had to tell his&nbsp; big brother that this is not happening if R doesn't come to play with&nbsp; Aanya today then don't ever send her over.&nbsp; I feel that its better to have a nuclear family with healthy relationship with other family members.

i guess joint family is always better for kids and mother too as the responsibilities gets divided. but if your in laws are not understanding then u get screwed up badly... my mother in law is such a drama queen,always seeks attention,she never gives importance to anyone else, just bothered about herself and her sisters... so i m blessed that i dont live with her, we are in a nuclear family and very much happy...

<span style="color:#3B5998;"><b> @6372dccad28b060015d965bb </b></span> well said dea... is os happening wit me as well &#128528; <br> i was bought &#249;p in nuclear.. n marrried to joint &#128547; i wanted joint bt nw m pissed off.. i wanted nuclear nw... in joint family kids get too much pampered n kids wont hav fear of parents... dey do mischievous n dey knw grand parents wil support dem. dis is wat i hate it.. being parent cnt doo anythng myself .. b4 dng shud talk abt it to inlaws. which is vry diff fo me...

it's said that there are two aspects of a coin.. and that's the fact whether it's a joint or nuclear family.. in joint family children do understand the value of elders and learns to respect and take care.. they get lots of love and care.. grandparents make them listen good stories with morals.. but sometimes issues in family effects the child.. too hues and cry can disturb them.. they are independent on others most of the times.<br> in nuclear family child becomes more independent.. she learn to do all her work by herself.. more attached to parents as they dnt have anyone else.. but at the same time they might struggle to get attention...
