I think the most glaring absence of Rarity and Sweetie Belle’s parents is that they weren’t at her cuteceanera. Ouch. (Really hope that was just the animators being forgetful.)
The only set of parents the show’s spent any real time with are Mr. and Mrs. Cake. (Cadance and Shining Armor don’t count until their child is actually born; they’re currently expectant parents.)
And as for Scootaloo, just because she’s confirmed to have a home doesn’t say anything about who she lives with, and the brief glimpse we got of her room in “Flight to the Finish” doesn’t even say much about where she lives.

Granted, we haven’t seen much of Rarity’s/Sweetie’s parents, but yeah it does feel like Rarity takes care of her a lot.
I actually agree, it would be nice if the show showed a more stable (no pun intended) relationship between a character, and their parents. We haven’t seen much of that in the show, if at all.
Sense we haven’t seen Scootaloo’s parents yet, (and it’s been confirmed she’s not homeless) maybe they could do it with her parents.
Also, you’re right it does feel like they made the CMC want to grow up to much, rather then just enjoy their time, as kids. Though, they did kinda address fear of growing up slightly in “Bloom & Gloom.”

I love Rodney Dangerfield, he was a great comedian. He was almost like a modern Groucho Marx with his quick wit, though he had his own unique style too. I even liked his movie “Rover Dangerfield” as a kid. (Which had some slightly risque’ humor in it looking back, which further made it better.)
Spoiled Rich is such a card, her father tried to hang her like one.
@Marvelous TK
Thank you. I was inspired by reading the works of one of the most legendary putdown artists of the 20th century, Rodney Dangerfield.
It’s fun to take shots at a mare who gave Diamond Tiara grief but it’s even more fun when others enjoy it.
Care to give it a try?
The only stallion that was ever happy to meet Spoiled Rich was her plastic surgeon. If he charged per square inch, he’d be a millionaire.
That mare needs a nose job so desperately that she’s applied for nose welfare.
Her nose is so pointy that when she looks down, I half expect tea to come pouring out of her nostrils.
And she’s got a one-of-an-unkind personality! Speaking with her makes a stallion wonder where he sees himself in five miles.
If she donated her heart to science, the only branch of science it could benefit is microsurgery. She’s so cold that cockatrices are trying to figure out a way to turn their victims into Spoiled Rich.
She’s a really dedicated mother. She’s dedicated to being a lousy mother but at least she’s dedicated to it. I hear that on Mother’s Day, Diamond Tiara sends her a sympathy card.
And what a catch of a wife she is! When she asked her husband where he wanted to spend their honeymoon, he said “Cloudsdale.”
It’s true that money can’t buy you love. In Spoiled and Filthy Rich’s case, that was stamped on their marriage license. You can always find Filthy Rich in a crowd. He’s the stallion pointing a crossbow at his own temple.
Even after ten years of marriage, Filthy assures me that he still has a great sex life. I just hope that Spoiled never finds out. Ah, what am I worried about? She’s so dumb she thinks a muffin top is a blouse designed by Derpy Hooves.
And speaking of Derpy, she recently bumped into Filthy Rich the other day. Yeah; she saw his wedding band and said “I know just what went wrong.”
We all do, Derpy. We all do.

It’s funny how in MLP parents can be portrayed as being a problem (or an antagonist if you prefer) but not a solution (like going to your parents about bullying and they solve the problem for you)”. We’ve seen Rarity do more parenting for Sweetie Belle than we’ve seen Cookie Crumbles and Hondo Flanks perform.
I don’t feel that kids should run to their parents with *every* little problem (as that happens to be a very poor lesson) but I do feel that there should be at least one episode in the series that shows kids how it’s important to maintain the parental bond and how you’re no less of a person for seeking parental guidance.
Sorry for being all soapboxy. I simply dislike society’s overemphasis/pressure placed on young children to grow up fast and become independent when there are still plenty of childhood years left to enjoy.
@youregoingtoloveme
Given how she acts, she probably does put her “social status” above even her own daughter…
Diamond Tiara really does deserve a hug, regardless of the brat she (used) to be.
Spoiled is sweating this situation because she fears that the apology she owes Diamond Tiara may get in the way of her three-martini lunch with the PTA gals.

DT’s biological mother Crystal died, then Filthy married Suri, then Suri revealed it was all a scam to seal everything they held dear, but Rich fought back and won. Then he married Spoiled, but divorced her after the episode.
Since They Divorced,(Diamond Tiara Also Has a Younger sister who she clams her)Spolied Rich Will Now Married To her New Husband.(Who They having a son)
Filthy: And that is why I was smart enough to make you sign that marriage contract years ago.
Spoiled: You what?
Filthy: You really should have taken a closer look on all the papers you signed at the day of our wedding.
Filthy Rich: Diamond Tiara you mother and I are getting a divorce, now I know its a lot for a girl to choose which parent to live with but we want you to take your time and…
Diamond Tiara: Dad.
Filthy Rich: “Isn’t it enough that you’re destroying headcanons and fanfics everywhere?” *tosses a key at her* “Here’s the liquor cabinet key. Do us both a favor and give your AA sponsor a reason to have your sorry drunken plot dragged back to rehab for another four Celestia-damned years!”
(Randolph and the other servants hoofclap quietly in their quarters)

Spoiled Rich: “Good for you… Who gets most of the money, and will use it to get custody of her daughter??? Enjoy living with nothing…”
