it is very noticable that, when running off with Scoots, Sweetie is like "Rarity won't mind," which is so indicative of Sweetie's parent either being forever never around and/or that Rarity IS tacitly The Parent as far as Sweetie is (and maybe her actual parents, even, are) concerned...

Sweetie Belle does think the world of her sister. It's equally possible she considers Rarity that important to be the top pony she'd name rather than her parents being neglectful. Her parents seems the laid back type, while Rarity is a worry-wart. So if Rarity is okay with something, it is likely SB's parents are too.
