Hubs and Overload:the Position,Role,and Dilemma of Mothers in Accompanied Study
In recent years,the phenomenon of young rural mothers returning to their hometowns to accompany their children's education has become increasingly common.This trend has led to changes in the division of labor,resource allocation patterns,and family relationships within farming households.Returning mothers who transition from the labor market back to the family as accompanying caregivers become the"hubs"of material resources within the family.They serve as the core link between the elderly relatives,husbands,and children,acting as the"operator"of educational investment and returns,while bearing significant family responsibilities and pressures.This situation places them in a position where they must navigate role adjustments between self,career,and family,making them vulnerable to issues such as marital estrangement,strained parent-child relationships,family development pressures,and underperformance in children's education,leading to a state of"overload".The study reveals that strong family responsibility beliefs and the drive for family development support these returning accompanying mothers in enduring the immense responsibilities and pressures of being at the family hub.However,the dilemma of"overload"makes them prone to diffuse anxiety,potentially undermining the ideals of neo-familial ethics.
