Did Splinter care about the TMNT originally?

In the comics Splinter orignally raised the Turtles for the sole purpose to make them skilled enough in Ninjitsu to fight and kill the Shredder for revenge over his master Yoshi's death....

Does that make them Splinter's agents of death? And nothing more...? At first...? I figured after they served their purpose Splinter wasn't just gonna throw them out and got used to having them around (like, who else would a giant rat have to talk to?) so maybe in time he grew to love them as sons, but what about in the beginning?

I can imagine sometime in their early years when the turtles are starting to show noticeable progress in the martial arts and mastery of their weapons, Splinter would be thinking to himself, "Yes..... Yes.... Soon Oroku Saki.... you will die!!!"
