The most I could say is that he also could've spoken to Hayley, explained the situation, and they could've come up with a solution. There's too many people who could've done better and too many factors. I mean, what was the purpose in Klaus having a child, making her his redemption, and have him sacrifice for her only to not have him raise her and only be in her life for 2 years over the phone and by letters? Then we get Declan talking shit about Klaus not being in Hope's life when he's really only getting the surface of what's happened and hasn't even made an inch into the truth. I really don't care about this Hope shit, Henry, Hayley, Declan, Caroline and any other new character's that want to pop up. I'm here for the Mikaelson siblings and Vincent/Marcel, and that's it.
I mean, all of this is happening because of Hope wanting to see Klaus. Although, she doesn't seem to be looking for a way to kill the Hollow or anything so that she can get her father back in her life. She'd scheming, but isn't conducting a plan with Freya to help her family out? That makes so much sense. There's only so much leeway you can give a 15 year old and I'm not giving her any because she's old enough to know right from wrong. She's old enough to use her brain instead of acting recklessly stupid. I know some fifteen year olds - not all - act crazy, but she's doing a bit too much, too
