I am from a small family.And i think there is lots of benefit here.
Tends to more educational and sports opportunities,Education is most important.As it is easier and cheaper to have only one or two children in activities.We can spend more time with kids.
In large family siblings fights for toys and chocolates.So if we have small family,there is also less of a chance for conflicts and rivalries.
But my mother is not agree with me she says,There is lots of disadvantage of small family.
A disadvantage of having a small family is they love their kids more and that parents are sometimes overprotective and overly attentive,They concentrat only on kids and really letting their child explore or play at times.
More attention more love make kids stubborn.
She says there is lots of advantage of having large family.And the first advantage is having a larger family is that older children learn more responsibility earlier in life because they are needed to help take care of younger siblings.In my views this is torture on older children.They are not enjoy there childhood.It is unfair to older kids.If a mother can not handle more kids why she is giving birth.
And second benefit is,there is always someone for the children to speak to,they share thier problems with elder brother or sister and they learn the difference between wants and needs because parents are unable to stop everything to give every child what he wants.Because there is simply not enough money to get everything for each child,in my view it is also unfair which is actually seen as a disadvantage as well.
I think major disadvantage of having large family is there is not enough room in house.If we fall sick,in large family we will not get enough rest.Think about mother,if she spends her whole day on kids ,when she will get time for herself.
We can not afford to go on picnic or on trip.If we go out with kids,how can we handle all kids?How can we cross the road?
I think if we can’t give all facilities to kids,we don’t have right to ruin their lives.

A well enumerated article. Both joint families and nuclear families have their advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion why we see the nuclear families more is the city lifestyle, too much of technology, less amount of need for manual labor for different, online digitization and computerization, both parents working and hence wanting to have one child only, children going abroad once they get jobs and are settled leaving old parents behind to fend for themselves, older generation not wanting to lose their way of life and lifestyle and independence. Older generation being happy in India rather than abroad. Big generation gap between the way the elders and their children think. Fast paced lives in the city, lack of time and the rush to earn money are some of the reasons contributing the above issue. Hope you find the information useful.
I cannot say that I came from a big family, because we are just 5 siblings. Though, in today's terms that is already a big family because most families have only one or two children because they want to give their children good education and life.
I think with my father, a lawyer and who later became a judge, he was able to give us a good life while growing up. He didn't allow our mother to work, but to just take care of us. He had her join community organizations so she can also socialize and learn how to cook a lot of foods she would prepare for us, with the help of our maid.
As for me and my husband, we only have one child, now a lady doctor. I find it sad because now hubby and I are only by ourselves, because she works and lives in Manila a far metropolis from our province where we reside with my-in-laws.
But good thing, we stay with my in-laws because at least we are 6 at home. Besides, during weekends I can visit my parents and sister in our hometown , a 30 minute ride from where we reside. :)
Any size family is good as long as everybody gets along with each other.
