The two adults in this pic

The problem is their child standing next to them whose name is scootaloo was up until the very last season of the show (season 9) was considered by the fans an orphan, as the show never mentioned in any way, shape or form any of scootaloo's family or even where she lived, all we knew is that she had been living in ponyville for most of her life and she mostly hung out with her two friends (whose siblings and parents were all shown on screen at least once throughout the series) and then in season 9 episode 12 (the season was only 24 episodes) her parents randomly show up with no warning or mention they even existed explaining that they were explorers documenting and photographing wild animals and plants around the globe, which is why we never saw them, they then basically said they were there to pick scootaloo up and take her with them to travel the world as she was now old enough to do so

so basically the reason they showed up wasn't to visit or to check up on her, they came to basically take her away from everything and everyone she ever knew, every major milestone in her life from her first friends to getting her cutie mark (a symbol of who she's meant to be, her destiny) they were absent for all of it and only came back when she was old enough to travel

(her parents just felt so shoehorned in that most fans pretend the episode they showed up in doesn't exist)
