This needs a “smart move” tag.

Eeeewwww…

@Ereiam  
Because she’s a bitch?

@My Little Brony Friend 2  
Why do you think?

Why?

@NoBronyInParticular  

 
That’s what I’ve always figured.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
I wouldn’t go as far as to outright call him a saint, but when compared to his wife he appears to be several shades lighter on the morality scale. Than again he could have punished his daughter in FAD solely to stay in good business with the Apple family since she insulted Granny Smith right in front of both of them.

@Crystal Neighybánya
 
Not a saint, but not a total scumbag either.

@NoBronyInParticular  
I dunno: I’ve never really bought the “Filthy Rich is a saint” headcanon that so many people seem to have.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
I get the feeling it’s the later scenario since he seems to be a pretty nice guy from what his small amount of screentime has shown, plus the one time he rightly punished DT for acting up was when he witnessed it first hoof. If he became aware of what Spoiled was teaching DT, he would have most likely gave her the chewing out of a life time since her teachings, in addition to going against his moral principles, would be incredibly toxic to the family business (Who would want to shop at a store who’s owners treat the 99% like shit?).

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Well, at the risk of sounding pedantic, every parent in Equestria is a ‘hands-off’ parent.
 
Because hooves.

@Background Pony #EA00  
It seems like Filthy Rich (in the show, at least) is a very hands-off parent and leaves raising Diamond Tiara to Spoiled Rich or is unaware of what Spoiled Rich has been teaching his daughter.

That’s just good parenting.

@Crystal Neighybánya  

 
Oh she seemed like a catch when they were dating, that’s how gold diggers are.
 
Thank Celestia for Pre-Nup.

Can we have a “good parenting” tag here?

Says the guy who married her.

@Background Pony #10E0  
Ah
 
“I see,” said the blind pony.

@Lost Marbles  
OP here; don’t presume so quickly. Both interpretations work but when I assembled this I was thinking merely down literal paths…Filthy doesn’t want his daughter to grow up like his wife. The double meaning is obvious though…so take whichever interpretation you like. Two jokes for the price of one.

@Lost Marbles  
You mean because Spoiled Rich has been naughty too, right?

@lasty  
Uh… That’s the joke. He spanked her just like he’d spank Spoiled Rich.

Filthy Rich: I also went home and spanked Spoiled, but in a different way and for different reasons.
