Derpy Hooves hasn’t had much luck in life. Aside from having a bad set of eyes and being a poor flier, she isn’t exactly the best at working her job. All she wants is love, a stallion who will accept and love her for being the pony she is.

What a great 'Slice Of Life' chapter for how things developed for Derpy in her younger years at the Apples'. I do like how Amethyst took interest in Derpy to get her to do even more than she was originally doing. It's always good practice to keep having someone try new things to find out exactly what their true limits are. You truly don't know until you try and what the Appless, Amethyst, and Derpy's mom all did over all the years is help build life skills without ever putting Derpy down nor having to try and explain to our Bubbly Mare why she was so 'different' from every other pony.
A time will come where explanations on limits will have to be done. However Derpy is too little to go into such detail. These sort of things require proper timing to ensure it doesn't confuse and/or sadden her. Allowing Derpy to gradually come into herself is definitely good practice. Diamond may have gotten herself into some bad circumstances but she definitely does her absolute best as a single mom of two, soon to be three, foals. Belief in your children along with giving proper attention, motivation, and love really does make all the difference.
Wonderful job showing how everyone came together to help Derpy feel 'normal' despite having her given limits as a result of her overall development. This was quite heartwarming while also well in illustrating how Diamond is trying her best to keep her not so savory parts of her life as far from her children as possible. It can't be easy but she certainly has proven that, no matter what, she loves her foals and will do anything for them. The sacrifices she is making are not the best for her but, based on what you write for her, she seems to be doing the best with what she knows.
