5 Struggles Tunisians with Big Families will Relate to2 min read

Tunisian family

Having a large family is pretty cool. But, we have to admit it: Not at all times. As much as coming from a large family means finding love and helping hands everywhere, still, there are some cons that come with that.

1. No privacy

Ever been in the bathroom and someone just casually barged in? Or probably talking to your friend/lover on the phone and someone’s ear pressed against the door? Well, large families will understand.

2. Family Drama & Gossip

Yes, we all know it. I big families, the chances of them gossiping about each other are very high.

3. Big Gatherings

It always feels good to spend Sundays with family. With all the fun and laughs. However, if you have a big family, the chances of a number of them making fun of the way you talk, dress up or even your job are incredibly high.

4. Traveling with Friends? Haha

Pretty sure many of you have gone through the process of trying to make a trip with your friends, but it won’t work cause you’re tied down to 3 different scheduled travels with several members of your big family.

And turning them down would result in them getting mad at you, with the possibility of cutting all ties with you!

5. Small Occasions

Actually all occasions call for big numbers. However, sometimes a tiny gathering with your loved ones is a nice idea. And some other times, inviting specific people for a specific event is a normal thing to do.

Let us know if you come from a big family, and if you’re struggling with the same things or not!
