Y'know I've read a lot of Manga which I felt were held back by their insistence on revolving around some ludicrous gimmick when a simple set of characters living a relatively normal life would serve the basic idea better, but this Manga has probably fallen victim to that the most.
It's especially odd considering the Author claimed to like just writing stories with a variety of girls just doing things. Y'know what would help with that? Not having this ridiculous and completely unnecessary premise. If you want to have two girls effectively serving as the 'Mother' and 'Father' for a group of younger kids, how about you just, maybe, have them meet and wind up in those roles instead of some arbitrary force pushing them into that role? Have the mother already be in that role by default, have the Tomboy Girl enter the family after helping one of the younger kids and naturally fall into the role of Father.
Basically I think this Manga would be better if it were less "Lol another silly school Contest type thing that doesn't make any sense at all" and more "Horimiya but with Lesbians".
You are wanting a totally different manga
There is a reason why many manga have some weird set-up to force people to be with each other (for example, random God is bored and want to make a brigade, or poor protagonist broke an expensive vase and have to work to repay). Because it target readers who has a boring life (hence reading manga) and was wishing someone come in and forcefully spike things up.
Sure you can set up a manga with 2 next door childhood friends with bunch of siblings meet up and play house. But those don't have siblings can't insert themselves in such role
And that one minor change could switch the genre from shounen/shoujo to seinen/josei
