...outside Western Europe.

Excluding the West, households composed of extended family members were the norm in many regions. A rapid spread of nuclear family units was a byproduct of the Industrial Revolution and urbanization, coupled with Western global influence.

One notable advantage the extended families had, was the opportunity for a child to pick the most suitable role model within the household. If the parents were awful at raising, the child would just bond with the other family member and consider them the father/mother figure. And just like that, no more daddy/mommy issues and antisocial behavior.
Also relatives could intervene in cases of conflict/abuse, therefore saving the kid from trauma.

The atomization of family units and career-oriented parenting were the downfall of the children's mental health. GG lads

Not only Western Europe, communists also worked to create nuclear families, destroying villages and bringing people from villages to live in small flats in commieblocks.

Suburbs are uncanny man, no wonder so many liminal space/backroom games take place in there. Looks soulless

Yes, especially for social skills. That’s the main reason why Westerners//Asians are more socially anxious and introverted that other groups.
Other cultures expose you to social gatherings since the beginning
