I agree that the MC wants to grow up, but the focus, of chapters 3.1 and 3.2 was definitely on becoming a wife and mother as being a necessary step on that path.
I have nothing against marriage and family. I get the need to find someone to love, and start a family with. (I wish Japan would step into the 21st centry, and let our gay and bi friends start families with who they chose, though.) What gets me angry is the message that a woman needs to be a mother to be a successful adult.
The fact that one of the MC's friends got pregnant, by accident actually proves my point. The story is implying that, the woman, who has made such a reckless mistake, was more of an adult than the mc, simply because she was going to be a mother. If anything those girls were even more childish for cutting ties, to one of their friends, just because she hasn't joined the married with children club yet.
On an unrelated note. I don't like how the mc hasn't thawed at all, towards her "love interest" yet. The girl has had some touching moments, and the mc is still at the "she is annoying, but I can't ditch her, because of reason", stage.
I'm not saying the mc should be ready to jump into the girl's arms already, but she could have at least been a little moved when the girl, told the mc, why she was crushing on her.
