Discuss with your partner the advantages and disadvantages of these two types.Exploring the TopicNuclear familyExtended family The nuclear family consists of father, mother, sons, and daughters. There are no cousins, aunts, and uncles to fall back upon for a growing kid. However, in nuclear families, there is greater privacy, freedom, and autonomy. You can get up early or late, raise your pets and do not worry about disturbing others.The extended family includes uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, grandfathers, and grandmothers. The advantage of extended family is that the big support structure has a strong influence in many facets of life (economic, social, emotional, and psychological). An individual member’s crisis is softened by caring close members of the extended family. The disadvantage is also obvious. Many people living under the same roof may lead to family problems or conflict. This will definitely hurt their relation deeply.Exploring the Topic Exploring the Topic2Share the highs and lows of your family life with your partner. Exploring the TopicPair discussion:1.
