Personally i don't consider LMJ canon on account of it implying layton would just fuck off and leave his family behind. Like??? The layton who WENT THROUGH A WHOLE TOWN JUST TO ADOPT A CHILD, found out he was adopting a child and went "OH OKAY I WILL PROTECT HER WITH MY LIFE" ??? This man's first adventure in BOTH prequel and main trilogy is "layton goes to a fucked up town and adopts someone's child" the idea layton would leave his kids behind is like. Wrong to me. He MIGHT be a shitty teacher who never turns up to his classes but this is because he is always looking after his kids. Layton was falling apart when he had to leave luke and they both agreed on that. I don't like it ehen sequels make the main characters shitty parents its always out of characger and really is with layton. Whatd herschel ever do to deserve this. Man loves his kids. He's not always the best at telling if they are his kids or not but he still loves them.

Exactly, and I know that there are also some people who say "oh, but Flora always gets left behind" and yeah, it sucks, but to be fair:

1. In Pandoras Box they were investigating an actual Murder, and in lost future they first got pulled into this whole mess all of a sudden with no chance of telling flora, and once they came back to the present it was clear that this whole thing is going to be dangerous. Plus once Flora came to the clock shop by herself Layton allowed her to stay instead of just sending her away.

2. Flora grew up isolated in a small village. Layton was worried about her since she had no prior experience with his adventures. This is probably also why he has no Problem with Luke being there. Luke isn't his actual adopted child but his apprentice. He has proven that he is clever and a good companion on Laytons adventures. Also the fact that Layton knew him since he was a baby also helped.

But Flora? He basically just got a daughter handed to him out of nowhere. Of course he would be hesitant letting her go with him. He know's how his adventures go, I believe he was mainly concerned about her. Basically being "holy shit I have a daughter now what if something happens to her???"

Of course he still made some dumb mistakes, but he never had an actual child besides Luke in his care before, cut the man some slack!

And then he's supposed to get another child, actually raised it and knew it since it was a baby, and THIS is where he decides to just fuck off and leave???

I call Bullshit, god I can't stand LMJ for so many reasons.
