Answer:
benefits:
- more people to give you advice (especially if they're older than you)
- more people to talk to and hang out with
- more people to rely on or ask for help
- less chance of you being alone (because usually there's at least 1 person around you)
- you can rotate chores between everyone
drawbacks/costs:
- more family means higher costs on buying things that the family needs (toiletries, food, clothes etc.)
- depending on if you're an extrovert or introvert, having so many people around could get loud/tiring/just too much
- everyone can't fit in just one car; you need more than one car or at least a large car
- you can feel kinda overshadowed if there's so many family memebers around you
- you have to make plans to go to most places (gotta decide who takes what car, who follows who etc.)
- a lot of laundry
