Samantha and Simone are acting strangely. They're refusing the family's help. In other words, they're refusing to be "covered" by the family's money, as if they don't want anything to do with the Gilford family. This is a very, very bad sign, and has nothing to do with pride. If the MC were a complete nobody to them, if they weren't both carrying the MC's children, then it would be understandable—they're complete strangers and all that.
But these two stubborn people are already de facto family; a simple formality is needed to make them Gilfords.
If I'd known about their behavior today, I wouldn't have anything to do with them from the start, I wouldn't have proposed to them—I would have simply ignored any content with these women. Well, I would have left them in the friend zone.
Well done, Jamaal, smart guy, he punched those stupid chicks in the face with their thick, stubborn heads!
These two dumb hens should know that families don't do charity work—they invest in their own futures. Or they just give gifts to their loved ones. You'd think none of them would accept a car as a gift. But cars also cost money, and a lot of it.
umm yes Marx (hehe like Karl Marx). sorry.
they are will be Marx - buns in their owens ARE Marx, even they are have 2nd though about marriage with MC. charity or not charity or you name it - it is intra-family stuff. they helped with money for family become stronger when Simona graduated and start to meke her own money. money - it is caring about future of babies. they cannot refuse money. MC will be right if he become offended with this ears-feint.
also Kiara
And in general, this is a complete disgrace, disarray, and chaos. Some are scrambling for firewood. Many are already walking around with a baby in their womb and everyone is saying, "We haven't decided yet." WHAT??? What kind of mess is going on in the family? The MC doesn't keep order at all. His girls are completely unaccustomed to a man's hand. Instead of striving to be close to their man, they seem to be trying to hide in their own nooks and crannies. It's mind-blowing.
if i restart game from the start then Kiara shouldn't have been persuaded either, since she's better off alone. And Eileen, too. Let them live as they see fit. They were already in a terrible situation when they came running to "help! help!" and when things got better, they ran away. It's disgusting on their part.
By the way, the MC himself is no better—he deserves for his girls to run away from him. he have no strong hand for his girls.
Kiara's planning to move out (oh, fuck!), but that's not the problem, the problem is that she's doing it "behind his back"—and that's unforgivable. Kiara didn't discuss this with him first, but with one of the family girls (his aunt, who doesn't handle these issues).
It's like me pestering a regular user about a missing tag in a game's tag list, not a moderator.
But if MC doesn't react to this outburst, that would be total bullshit! That'll be a big reflection on him. It means he basically doesn't care about his girls. "So what, one shows up, one disappears—life's a trivial matter!" (treating girls like a bus—one leaves, another will come).
Some posts above these, you said that someone moving countries won't change their way of thinking regardless of how many years they live in their new country because the way they were raised will be there forever.
And now you want three ladies (+Eileen, who I don't know what has to do with your ramble) to change their mindset in three weeks (the first of the relationships was open with Samantha after the MC was home for almost a week). It's not coherent, right?
Let me explain it:
The characters aren't perfect, and they have flaws.
Simone and Samantha (and Jamaal to a lesser extent) have a survival mindset, in which they have to do everything on their own. It worked for them for years. They could have asked their friends for loans (Martha and Norah would be there for them) and save on bank interest, but they didn't. They didn't want charity, regardless of where it came from. They won't change that mindset in three weeks or three months.
Family is NOT an investment. Family is a matter of care and love. NO ONE (not Amanda and not the MC) is thinking about the economic benefits of paying for Simone's scholarship. They are willing to pay for it so Simone can fulfill her dream. With a billion-dollar company, they don't need whatever income Simone can get as a coach.
Kiara's attitude is logical. She's used to not having self-esteem, and she doesn't want to be a bother for Norah (and she knows she should leave the house when the new students arrive). She thinks (Solomon has engraved it in her brain for years) that she has no worth by herself, so she wants to live independently now that she will own a house for herself. Moving to the family house was temporary since the start because of a problem. The problem is now solved, and she can return to her house (leaving what has become her home in the interim). Kiara discusses it with Norah BECAUSE she's living at Norah's house.
I don't know what Eileen does in your ramble. She's the one pressuring Kiara to stay at Norah's home.
I don't know where you are from (or what culture you were raised in), but the game is set in a Western culture setting, where women are independent and their lives don't revolve around a man's dick. Men with "strong hand" for their girls are considered part of the problem in that setting, not of the solution. Have you heard about toxic masculinity? Solomon is the example, and I don't want the MC to become like him. The MC is dating the girls, not dictating what they should do with their lives, where they should live, or what they should wear. He proposes, not imposes. It's California, not Taliban-Afghanistan.
