They had no family dynamic at all. Hell, they mutated from turtles to full adult size, and their life in the lair was more like that of young adults than like teenagers, to the point of calling actual teenagers "kid." I wouldn't say that, it was more ambiguous. they more or less just avoided the topic. In Next Mutation they straight up confirm NOT brothers, solely so Venus De Milo could be a love interest and not their sister.
