Remembering this {{post}}

To this day, i never understood why the writers of MLP introduced Scootaloo's parents late in the series, and not only that..

...they made it that they willingly gave their kid to the aunts(yeah, abandonment) and come they back to her, which makes them look bad considering that makes them look like neglectful parents

Like, i know the writers didn't intend it, but the way they are written and introduced makes them look bad and neglectful...

Like, it would have made sense if they introduced her aunts earlier and that her parents were long dead due to an incident at their job

..or, make her parents visit their child in their free time and have them have family bonding moments(like, introduce them earlier in the series so that they won't look awful)

idk...

I just think MLP fumbled really hard with this, like why continue making them neglectful parents, and if that was the intention...

..then acknowledge that at least

These are just my thoughts, what do you guys think should have happened?

What do you think about Scootaloo's parents?

Scootaloo's parents are assholes. 

They weren't there for Scootaloo for the majority of her life. And this dialogue from the episode Parental Glideance is revealing: 

Scootaloo: Ya know, some ponies would dream of having parents like that.

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, right! Name one!

Scootaloo: [sighs] Me. Growing up, I never thought I'd be the best at anything, because nopony ever told me. But your parents told you over and over again. Look! Best bath taker ever. Best carrot eater under three. Greatest napper of all time!

Rainbow Dash: [scoffs] I am pretty good at napping. I can fall asleep anywhere. [snores] Huh?

Scootaloo: For your entire life, your parents gave you the confidence to believe in yourself.

That tells you everything you need to know. Also, her parents were never there to help Scootaloo deal with her disability. 

Then they randomly show back up, and try to force Scootaloo to leave Ponyville!

I wouldn't have minded this if the show actually acknowledged that her parents were terrible. But… that didn't happen.

At least Scootaloo has her aunts.
