everything we think about Burke and Jade as parents is hugely influenced by what Sage confusingly told us.They keeping up facades. They're trying to look like upstanding, upper class people to the outside.
Tybalt is completely screwed in the head, so used to always getting what he wants, that he first can't even conceive that Jill doesn't want him no matter the obvious signs and when that finally sinks in he can't cope with it at all and just cries like a little child.
The parents both cheat on each other and probably are only still together to keep up the facade of a "normal family" even though they don't really love each other anymore (if they ever did in the first place).
I don't think they treated both Sage and Tybalt badly as in neglected them materially. But emotionally they are all scarred and all of them seem to be unable to really express any form of genuine warmth to each other.
other than that what other reasons do we have for thinking that Jade is a cold mother with whom you can't talk about emotional issues? absolutely nothing. she talks quietly about it with MC, with Cathe, there is no reason why she can't do it with Sage, only Sage tells us that she would react horribly.
clearly it is a dysfunctional family, but we are told (very confusingly) that Jade and Burke are bad parents , not shown
