This... this is how I actually feel from time to time. I'd never thought I'd see it written down. It's very nicely done. Great job.

Reminds me of my family. We fight and butt heads, a lot, but when it comes down to it we would burn the world for one another.

Kind of hard not to agree with Rarity here. The parents are ranting about family while dumping Sweetie Bell on Rarity every chance they get to vacation abroad, interfering with Rarity's career. If family is so important, why don't they take Sweetie Bell with them on their vacation? If they want Rarity and Sweetie Bell to spend quality time together, why don't they invite both daughters along?

Of course, I knew fully well that there were usually only two reasons my parents visited Carousel Boutique: picking Sweetie Belle up, or dropping her off. They certainly weren’t picking her up.

So the parents don't seem to value family enough to stop by the boutique and spend quality time with Rarity either. It really sounds like they view her as a free daycare service.

I read a longer series once where Sweetie Bell is an accident, and the parents were planning to be retired and vacationing all the time at this point in their lives, and I think that explains a lot of their behavior.
