That’s the same Granny Smith who was ready to literally bet the farm against a couple of fleabags in stripy shirts with an automagic cidermobile ten years later; it may have been medically necessary for her to let the young’uns start handlin’ the finances.

Whether she’s 11 or 14 doesn’t change much, if anything. I do have a hard time believing granny smith would let a pre-teen make decisions in vital family business, though.

I never got the impression that AJ and Mac were that old, they both seemed solidly preteen to me. By that point in the series Ashleigh Ball was deliberately voicing Applejack with a huskier and lower voice, and Youngerjack definitely sounded squeaky and pre-adolescent to me.
 
AB being absent was always a silly thing to harp on anyway, since she would have been a wee sprout at the time and likely confined to the house to keep her from trying to explore the Everfree on her own.

Well the story’s like this:
 
  1. Apple parents are definitely gone by the time of Where the Apple Lies and AJ and Big Mac seem to be about 14 and 16. Apple Bloom must be alive and probably at least 1-2 years old by now, because the episode implies that the parents have been gone for at least a year (IMO).  
  2. Filthy Rich and Spoiled Milk aren’t married yet, so people assume that Diamond Tiara hasn’t been born yet. This implies Apple Bloom is at least 2 or 3 years older than Diamond Tiara.  
  3. This ignores the possibility that Diamond Tiara was born out of wedlock and is being tended to by a nursemaid or even Randolph the house servant.  
  4. This also ignores the fact that it wasn’t unusual for small one-room schoolhouses like the one Cheerilee’s is modeled after had kids from kindergarten to 8th grade all in the same class, so it’s totally plausible for the kids to be in even a 5 year age span.

How is this a continuity error?!? If Pear died before Bloom was born, then she wouldn’t be her mother!

I’m just trying to understand this episode from applejack character progression. Idk what to take away from it. Is she just learning to cut loose and have fun with her little sister while she still can? Learning To be both a mother and a big sister?

The continuity of The Simpsons is not like that of FiM. Or at least not what the FiM continuity used to be. They constantly make blatant references to past episodes, Silver Quill even makes it a running gag in his reviews. In more recent years, it’s been all over the place.

You are already booped.
I think they gave us this JUST so we’d stop talking about inbreeding and infidelity and other theorizing. “Okay, NOW you’ve seen her with her parents, so shut up already!”

With people having discussions on how these flashback connect to the present in the show or don’t, I just tend to not question it. It’s like connecting those flashback/future episodes from The Simpsons, the show will just ignore or kill the timeline and make up whatever it wants, despite them mentioning an exact year and the characters continue remaining the same age and personalities while everything else updates.

The main hangup seems to be the apparent age difference between Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara, based on Where the Apple Lies. Seems to me that the best way to resolve it is that Filthy Rich got Spoiled Milk “teen pregnant” as a filly, and their engagement was a shotgun wedding sort of deal. This certainly explains Spoiled Milk’s/Rich’s attitude toward her daughter.

Ignoring the drama below, I personally headcanon that PB and BM died roughly six months after Apple Bloom was born (hence why she doesn’t have good memory of them).

Y’all, come on. Everything we see happening in the Apple Family’s past so far has been told in flashbacks, and I’m pretty sure everyone here can recall some events from their own lives that turn out to be complete and utter hogwash compared to other accounts by other people of the same events. It’s a fact which drives defense attorneys worldwide bonkers that memory is, quantifiably, utter crap as a data storage device, because the human– and presumably cartoon equine– brain is literally editing information as it stores it in the first place based on a myriad of conditions both internal and external.
 
There’s also the fact that a huge number of fans seem incapable of parsing the difference between “a character onscreen says a thing happened” and “a thing actually happened in-universe”; Trixie calls herself Great And Powerful all the ding-dong time, but you’re risking having your roof torn off by a cranky star bear baby if you take her word at face value. When we see a flashback as narrated by a character, we’re not seeing events as they actually unfolded in-universe, we’re seeing events as that character interpreted them, filtered through their own memories, none of which necessarily has any bearing whatsoever on the “reality” of the situation.
