We actually see a bit of Grandpa Harley when he is alive, … he let Jade play with flintlock pistols which lead to her almost killing herself and actually killing him. I feel like he really would love any kid he had just also let them do stupid dangerous things.

Yeah, even what little we do get to see of G. Harley, including the stuff in Hiveswap, is that he’s just absent. He isn’t around to provide the correct level of surveillance, and while I’m sure that he loves his kids that doesn’t mean he’s their caretaker because he isn’t there to take care of them. No reasonable parent, even a REALLY permissive one, would allow their toddler to play with loaded pistols. Much as I love Jake, when he grew up without the other alpha kids, he became a very neglectful guardian.
