Benefits of Being a Member of an Extended Family

Although there may be lots of disagreements between the old and

the young in a big family, we cannot deny living in a joint family brings
us a variety of pros. First of all, we can get a lot of help from our family
members, especially the old ones. Our grandparents or other people can
give us advice about relationships whenever we need. Moreover, when a
couple have their babies but they are too busy to take care of them, other
people in the family would undoubtedly be the best choice for them to
ask for help. Another advantages that I have to mention would definitely
the child education. Kids in extended families seem to be more
delightful and sociable than others from nuclear families. It is just
because they have siblings and cousins, who are at the same age or
sometimes the same hobbies as them to share their feelings with each
other. Furthermore, children grown up in a big family can learn caring,
sharing and how to cooperate with people. These skills are really vital
for them to develop their future bonds in the community nowadays.
Finally, living cost is divided into parts in a joint family. Also,
housework is not done by an individual but shared among the members
so that each one can save a lot of money and time. It is certainly more
enjoyable and comfortable. To sum up, it is clear that there are plenty of
advantages of having a large family rather than a small one.
