Good luck with Nick or Kayla ever being able to tell their kids what they should or should not do, or what they can or cannot have.
They have no moral standing to enforce on their kids.
Mom & Dad are junkies. Dad is a cuckhold. Mom's a whore.
Those kids will lose every "I've fucked your Mom & so did the principal & the football team" argument on the playground.
You have to keep the end of American Beauty in mind to understand Nick's point of view on this.
At the end of the film, the father is dead. His daughter despises him. His underage daughter is running away with the drug dealer who set the father up to die. She and the drug dealer are going off to live with his connections in the city. The father, as he is dying, thinks that this is fantastic. That his daughter has really proved to be a great person and is now set up for a great life.
You have to understand. At some very basic level Nick's dream for his children is probably that they become degenerate junkies and cam whores. To Nick, someone like Digibro or Riley represents some sort of ultimate freedom dream for his sons to aspire to. I don't think Nick could imagine a better future for his daughters than being pimped out in porn or becoming cam whores.
And if they hate him, so much the better. Because then they will not be in the way of Nick doing what he wants or taking up his time anymore.
