Can you share some transnational families stories?

Transnational families are often depicted as complex entities in transnational novels. They might show the cultural clashes and fusions within the family. For example, different family members may hold different cultural values due to living in different countries. Some may be more traditional from their origin country, while others may be more influenced by the new country's culture.

Another theme is the idea of divided loyalties. Transnational family members may have to choose between their loyalty to their family in the old country and their new life in the new country. This can create a lot of drama and conflict in the story. For example, a character may have to decide whether to go back to take care of an ailing relative or stay in the new country for a job opportunity.

In many transnational families stories, a big challenge is the lack of physical presence during important family events. For instance, a grandparent in one country might miss a grandchild's birthday or graduation in another country. Educational differences between countries can also pose problems. If a family moves from a country with a more relaxed educational system to one that is highly competitive, the children may find it hard to adapt. And let's not forget the language barrier, which can isolate family members and make integration difficult.

Sure. One story could be about a family where the parents are constantly arguing. The father is an alcoholic and the mother is a workaholic to avoid being at home.

The family was overjoyed and they made sure to never let anything separate them again.

Well, consider a family where two sisters had a falling - out over an inheritance. One sister felt betrayed by the other. But after some time, they both realized that family was more important.

In a particular family, when the kids were small, if they ran into the street without looking, which was extremely dangerous, the parents would spank them. It was not a harsh spanking but enough to make the children understand the seriousness of their actions. The family then made sure to have conversations about safety rules and also put up physical barriers like small fences to prevent the kids from running into the street again.
