 WHAT NONSENSE IS THAT EVERYWHERE <<LESS PRIVACY...LESS PRIVACY...>> GO TO h**l >.< >.< what is necessary you dont have .....

Answer 2

Extended family means living in a house with one's parents, grandparents, uncles , aunts and cousins. There are many advantages of living in such a setup, though it has its equal share of disadvantages too. In a joint family economic burdens are equally divided among  all the family members, there is a great sense of security, and no one feels alone or left out.

However, on the negative side in a joint family setup, there is no privacy, every one seems to interfere with your personal life and decisions. But i believe that is just a small defect of this system, that can be overlooked for the greater good this system holds.

Answer 6

Extended Family:
Advantages:
Extended families are families where three or more generations are living in the same house. Usually, that means that the grandparents are living with their children and grandchildren.
Research has shown that there are several advantages to living in extended families. Extended families are very important in countries where there is no social security net. Extended families help prevent elderly people from becoming poor.
Another advantage is that the grandparents can look after the children. During the day, the grandparents watch the children to make sure that they are ok. And they also talk to the children when the parents are busy. This helps the children learn their language. And since the children are well taken care of, both of the parents are free to work on the farm or earn money in jobs.

Disadvantages...
Sometimes you have no privacy because there are so many members... They can also cause conflict and problems, meddling in other family members' problems...
less attention given to children by parents, more conflicts and less privacy

While it is advantageous when you have a problem to have other members around to help, sharing other family members' problems can also become burdensome on other members... so that you not only have your own problems to worry about, but those of your extended family.
Yeh so i hope this information helps you people in need of this!!!!!!!! :)

Answer 8

i was faced with a similar question while writing an essay and had to go to great pains to answer it.so i really hope this answers your question.an extended family is one which consists of more family members such as the  grand parents aunts, uncles,and so on.the advantages of having an extended family is tht there is a feeling of security in the household with the elderly members of the family.also,if you were to leave the country they would take care of the house in your absence and feed any pets you might have.also,if both your parents work then the grand parent can take care of their children without your having to apply for a sitter which is a very horrible alternative.to leave your kids with som1 u trust is wayyy better.they also support you and you are emotionally well balanced and at least you know your grand parents.
the dis ads;
your parents will have to adjust to the others family i.e. their in laws and this will definitely rouse arguments and fights.also there will be less income as the no. of dependents in the house is more. that all i have for now hope it helps!
