Why Michael has a hardass time connecting with kid

Remember how in the previews, how they said that Michael had a hardass time connecting with his kids, Tracy and Jimmy? I've got a theory as to why that's so: He isn't their real dad. Think about it, neither Jimmy nor Tracy have any facial features similar to Michael, so either Amanda already had Tracy & Jimmy by the time she met Michael, or Michael and Amanda adopted them from a Southeast Asian country to become the talk of the neighborhood.

This thread sucks..

You say it sucks, and you don't give a reason as to how it sucks, or what I could do to improve it?

What's wrong with the more plausible real world fact that the majority of dads have a hard time connecting to their kids?

Good point. You'd expect some dude who lets his adult son and (assuming) adult daughter live with him to be on good terms with their father. This could also point to the direction that Michael was in a "Cats in the Cradle" situation, spending too much time robbing banks back in the day to hang out with Jimmy and Tracy

Especially if he spent a majority of their childhoods wrapped up in "that line of work".

He has a hard time connecting with his kids because he doesn't understand them in a nutshell. All Jimmy does is smoke weed and play video-games which Michael isn't interested in.

 

I'm sure the mission in which Jimmy says "Why do I have to hold your hand through all this mid-life crisis bullsh*t?" is where his therapist or wife tells him to hang out with Jimmy more to understand him and connect with him so he takes his bikes for a ride to Vespucci Beach and race each other back.

 

With Tracey on the other hand, all she does, it seems, is spend her Father's money through partying and spending time with her friends so she doesn't see Michael that often apart from when she is playing some Just Dance game and pokes fun at Michael's weight.

 

Yet, it's plausible that Michael just spent too much time "in that line of work" to even see his kids or connect with them.

Because it's a game and it's fictional. And at this point I personally (and I think the guy you quoted) don't give a sheet about it and we'll see it when we play the game and even then it will probably not be a 'big deal.'

And face it.. his kids suck. I'd expect a storyline where Mike is just sick of his family and realizes he actually hates them so much it drives him back to crime.

That'll happen way before anything as cheesy as family ties.. games in general don't do drama well, so that will always be cheesy. I think the family issues are gonna be purely for comedic effect. Rockstar can't expect me to care about a little sh*t like his son and feel bad because he didn't get to play catch.

You make so many bad threads. May I ask why?

Beats the hell out of that polish magazine thread just a few minutes ago. I don't spout out lies and try to convince you all they're the truth

You just did that ...Sort of.

Not really, but this thread is 40 times worse than any of those threads.

 

And by your logic, a thread has to be the worst thread in the world to be bad.

By that logic, this is still a bad thread.

I don't buy into the idea that Michael is their stepfather. He's distant because he's a freakin criminal. Aren't most kids distant from their rich fathers anyways??
