Yes... I have Volume One and it bothers me that Splinter refers to the Turtles as "my students" or "disciples," as if he was merely their trainer that happened to live with them.
Of course, I find the whole "family" aspect of TMNT to be the most appealing, so there you go. I just like to think of that as Splinter being formal and that he actually is their father figure. I don't like Leo's constant "but Master Splinter said..." in the show, but it would be even worse if Splinter wasn't even acting as their father.
