▶ Your Answer :
These days, family is always important than
someone else. Some people think that the extended family is still significant
now as before. However, I strongly believe that the need for living with extended
family is not a good idea because family members are getting smaller than the
past year and living with extended family costs a lot.
First of all, the definition of family is
getting lower than before. This is because people prefer to live as individuals
and they do not want to make big family. Now days, people are likely to have individualism.
People think that family members only include immediate family. For instance,
my dad used to live with whole family such as grandparents and aunts. However,
I live with my parents and sisters. This is really common for today’s family
composition. Therefore, people do not require the extended family anymore.
On top of that, staying with whole family
costs a lot. To be specific, the less family members live together, the lower
money for family spent. Money can affect serious trouble about taking care of
unrelated family. Moreover, now grandparents have different generations that
teenagers used to have and grandparents have dissimilar thinking way from teenagers
or children that live today. From my experience, my dad conflicted with these
problems such as picking grandmother to the hospital or getting another house
for her because my dad wanted to take her to our home and my mom does not wanted
to stay with grandmother. My mom worried about how much it would incur expenses
and she realized it costs infeasible money. Thus, problems related with money can
trigger grave situations even among family.
To sum up, having bigger family causes
severe difficulties about aspects of acceptance from other family and fee.
In this regard, the extended family appear
less important than before the family bonding was the best.
