does Logan resent his parents at all for putting him into the peacekeeper system?

a little - this realization would have been when he was a junior keeper (george and diane were under the impression that volunteers chose their own assignments which is technically, technically, true, and that logan would never become a keeper) and while logan was very isolated at that point, he was still permitted some contact with his parents while still a minor

so they pretty much immediately hash it out. it takes multiple of their 1hour a week phone calls, and a lot of running mediator from Rémy, but Logans forgiven them for it - thats just kinda how the brands are. it gets hashed out as soon as possible and you keep hashing it out until its resolved.

his parents may, possibly, be pretty horrified by just how out of practice logan has gotten at this concept

"Is that what most parents do?" "What did yours do?" Have I mentioned that I love Logan and his parents. What did his parents do? How often does "Is that what most parents do" come up when Logan is talking about parenting?

The Brands wer one of those montessori-toys-from-birth hyper-involved households. rather than order or command him logans parents would generally gather the family round the table and discuss what happened and what went wrong and what they might do next time.

its all very cerebral and Meeting Of Equals because Diane's a hippie and George is a lawyer and Rémy is a bohemian globetrotter so theyre all very Avant Garde about their childrearing.

if, like harry and elliott, logan were keeping a secret from his parents as a child and they knew about it, the immediate thought is not going to be ordering him to elaborate, its going to be making him comfortable and safe and assured until he tells them of his own accord

so Logan finds the idea of a parent forcing or ordering or compelling a child to do really anything to be not only distasteful but bizarre and pointless.

(you can imagine that once george and diane realized just how badly the peacekeepers were treating logan and that their decision to check him into the system was a mistake, they did not handle it well)

Logan's parents had all of of his pre-transition school accolades professionally altered by art restorationists to match his proper name. this is very sweet, except logan transitioned at like 7 so all of the accolades are like "Aced Spelling List Every Day This Week" x 20. So Logan finds this deeply embarrassing. But They Love Him So Much
