Joint family as system of supporting the old (grandparents) and the young (grandchildren) is without doubt the best way of life. But siblings, cousins... also hmm thats tough.

Again with earning of family members differing (not a problem between Parent-Child, Husband-Wife relation ) the traditional joint family becomes difficult.

As someone correctly put 'My Child' is definitely more important that "My brothers Child". Again as the same person said this has been the truth from the time of Ramayana and Mahabharatha, so dont blame western influence.
