Abstract
This chapter examines some dynamics of transnational families in the context of the Philippines, one of the largest source countries of migrant workers in contemporary globalization. It focuses on how young adult children of migrant mothers interpret their transnational life. It also identifies the challenges that geographic distance poses for transnational families, including marital strain, emotional distance, and the pain of family separation. Philippine society abides by the integrative model of the family and measures transnational mothering against this model. Holding on to the views of the integrative model on the family aggravates the difficulties experienced by children by encouraging them to view their mother's redefinition of mothering as not only an abandonment of traditional duties but also the abandonment of them as children. Following the diversity model would not only facilitate children's recognition of nontraditional forms of care provided by extended kin up close and mothers from afar, but would also ease the emotional difficulties imposed on them by the geographic distance in their family.
