Being a totally Desi country, Pakistan has got a common culture of joint
family system. This system can be found in almost every home of this
country and has it’s own charm. But oh, wait! The charm is clearly being
defeated in Pakistan by the cons of this system. Yes, joint family
system has it’s own beauty and many people love to live in it. While
some people on a serious note really get tired of this torture in the
name of joint family system and want to get separated as soon as they
can. After personal experience and observation, we have listed 10 common
cons of living in joint family system in Pakistan and trust me you will
find them all, “omgsotrue!”

No privacy
Well, everybody out there knows that there is not anything named
“privacy” in joint family system. Mostly people living with taya, chacha,
know that how chachis and tayis are always on a mission to disturb your
privacy and jump into your matters without even asked. They are clearly
unaware of the term, “mind your own business.” |

Grab yourself for karway indirect ta’anay
If you spend too much money on shopping and you don’t know single thing
about ghar dari then your horrible chachi is ready to taunt either
directly or indirectly as quick as the speed of light. |
|
Family politics
The siyasat in families is surely more dangerous than the one going on
in the country on national level. With gossiping and backbiting, the
kings and queens of family politics get their ultimate goal which is “fasaad.” |

Unlimited khandani jangein
The family wars being more horrible than any world war can leave you
surprised. How every aglay pichley relatives of dewranis and jethanis
are being dragged in their every other fight is just so disgusting. |
|
Too much comparison
The comparison for no reason is just so common in joint family system in
Pakistan. From your shoes to your dupatta and from your pencil to
grades, everything is being compared with your cousins by their parents
and it’s actually irritating. Like okay, your child is perfect, I am
garbage, forgive me!

|
Home cum guest house
And yes, in joint family system, forget about any personal room or your
space even. Because, everyday a new mehman is at your home and their
kids are jumping at your bed as if it’s a bouncer. Your home is more
like a guest house and you have to be a nice host just everyday or
thrice a week atleast.
|
|
Locked in room
This happens alot; whenever your tayi or chachi have guests at their
portion, you are restricted by your mom to stay in the room and not to
come over their side especially when food is being served. For this
purpose, all of you siblings are being locked in the room for hours.
Like, true example of killing the freedom of even looking at delicious
food.
