>seems to imply that, at least between Applejack's and Apple Bloom's births, the parents lived apart and met rarely, and when they did have a child, they gave it to Granny for her to bring them up. Which seems like not a nice thing to do.

Unless of course Equestria was fighting a foreign war and both parents were conscripted.
