I agree that Fitz's attitude towards his cubs is really complicated. It seems that for a long time he always wanted to have children - I think there's a bit somewhere in the Tawny Man books where Jinna remarks that Fitz reacts very strongly to her contraceptive charm because subconsciously he's hoping or expecting that their coming together will create new life (as opposed to just being a bit of fun). I also think that the way things went with Nettle in the very beginning messed up Fitz (even more that he was already messed up 
) - she was a child Fitz would have wanted to have in his life from the very beginning, and he never had that. And the same broken pattern seems to have repeated over and over again - he was raising other people's children, they were already older when he met them etc - and the one he finally had from the start with Molly didn't seemingly want anything to do with him at first!
