What are main reasons for breaking of joint families in our society.?

Answer 1

In my opinion one should not feel proud of his/ her ancestry. You are born to a particular family by chance and destiny. You should explore your space in the world at large and not be henpecked to just a few relatives.

Answer 2

Sociology studies families and their formation, attempting to detail the difference between families but sociology rarely attacks the nuclear family as a formation. Bittman asks why do sociologists promote the idea of the nuclear family when “so few have any practical attachment to a nuclear family?" The decline of the nuclear family is highlighted by:

-Increase in sole occupancy dwellings and smaller family sizes
-Average age of marriage being older
-Average number of children decreasing and first birth at later age
-The historical pattern of fertility. From baby boom to baby bust (instability)
-The ageing population. The trend towards greater life expectancy.
-Rising divorce rates and people who will never marry.

In The United States nuclear families now consititute a minority of households with rising prevelance of other family arrangement such as blended families, binuclear families, single-parent families. Today nuclear families constitute roughly 24.1% of households, compared 40.3% in 1970.

“ "The nuclear family... is the idealized version of what most people think when they think of "family..." The old definition of what a family is... the nuclear family- no longer seems adequate to cover the wide diversity of household arrangements we see today, according to many social scientists (Edwards 1991; Stacey 1996). Thus has arisen the term postmodern family, which is meant to describe the great variablity in family forms, including single-parent families and child-free couples."- Brian K. Williams, Stacey C. Sawyer, Carl M. Wahlstrom, Marriages, Families & Intimate Relationships, 2005..

The greatest reason is not able to accept daughter in law by heart. Boys parents have always insecurity in their mind that now they are losing their hold from their son and his wife will takeover everything including son and his property. They think that they are losing everything so they want to pull their son from his wife and make her insecure . On the other hand as the girl tries to adjust and not able to do so, so she also tries to get her husband.In this tussle of war between parents and wife the boy suffers a lot and try to get some peace of mind he separates with his soul partner into another place.

Frankly speaking its a fact which all of us have to accept.Not only new generation but even now their parent generation all have become very practical.I remember when i was kid what my grand parents were,they took pleasure in calling themselves as granny(Aji) and grandpa(Ajoba),they would feel the happiness in running behind us but now wait a minute.....grandparents now want themselves to be addressed a generation younger.If happen to look after now they frankly say NO.
Moreover with our generation too we have lost the patience to listen to everything they say.Now with women liberalisation girls feel why should they look after HIS parents ONLY and why HER parents are made to live on their own...afterall both the parents are same human beings.
Well well well thats unending saga...FORGET IT.
