It is curious, isn't it? Maybe her relationship with them isn't sunshine and rainbows. It's entirely feasible, given what we saw of typical Canterlot citizens in Sweet and Elite, that they were all too willing to give her to Celestia and bask in their own pride.

Twilight isn't your typical Canterlot noble snob either, maybe her parents weren't that wealthy, more like poor, so being semi adopted by the ruler of all ponies is a jackpot and they let her have her perfect life with the princess.

Her fear of disappointing Celestia is like that of a child towards its parents.

All this will be shattered with the season finale episode of course, Twilights parents will surely be there.

Eenope... But at the end of Magical Mystery Cure, I think I saw Twi's dad... AT THE EDGE OF THE CROWD. Look closely and you'll see a navy blue unicorn at the very end asthe camera pans out.
