hi.........There are no disadvantages to a Joint family. Its all a matter of every one feeling as if they belong & that they are there for the family & that the family is there for them. I look at it as there are just some rough edges that need to be over come.
Advantage - If you stay with your cousins, aunties, uncles etc you will feel united and they might encourage and support you in various steps in your life.
Disadvantage - Your privacy is ruined
