Answer: There are two types of family found in our society, one is extended or large family and the other is nuclear or small family. In an extended family people live with their parents, grand parents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Only husbands and wives live with their children in a nuclear family. I live with my parents in a nuclear family. Nowadays nuclear family is getting popularity in our society for various reasons. Now, people want to live in cities as cities provide lots of sources of income. But, life in cities is not so easy now. Even though, they earn much, they cannot maintain a family with eight or nine members. So, they prefer to live in a nuclear family. The members of a nuclear family enjoy some advantages. They lead a life where there is no noise or confusion. They get much time to concentrate on their own work. Children grow up in a suitable environment. But, it has some disadvantages also. Members of a nuclear family feel lonely as all of them are busy with their own work. They cannot share their feelings. It makes people self-centered (Av͇Kw›`ªK). But it is the need of modern life to form nuclear family because life has become very busy and competitive now.
