Dysfunctional family

I think the Bennets are more dysfunctional because as Wikipedia describes in a family like this there is a dominant parent that abuses the kids and the other parent is just a child like parent.  In Pride and Prejudice both parents switch those roles from time to time.  We all notice how Mrs. Bennet is constantly abusing her children by hassling them to get them married and just harassing them to make poor decisions like she does and all the while like a child Mr. Bennet just watches.  On the other hand, sometimes Mr. Bennet uses his sarcasm to verbally abuse his children and once again Mrs. Bennet plays the reverse and just gets abused as well, standing there like a horse just shaking her head.
