Parents in fiction rarely look old enough to have children of the age shown. Sometimes this is because of a Teen Pregnancy, or Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome, or some form of time travel or immortality. Sometimes, it's for a much more mundane reason: the parents remarried, adopted, or gained custody of the suspiciously old child through other means that justify the age discrepancy. Basically, this trope occurs when a relatively young person (usually in their teens or early 20s) gets a Promotion to Parents over other characters who are roughly the same age as themselves. See also Absurdly Youthful Mother and the other subtropes, especially Mum Looks Like a Sister. Compare Promotion to Parent, which usually falls under this trope. Contrast Adult Adoptee, where an adult adopts another adult into the family. |

A Little Lily Princess discusses this as a possibility. Sara and her younger friend Lottie, who both have a death-induced Missing Mom, are in an arrangement where Sara is informally Lottie's mother. In one of Lottie's events, Sara marrying Lottie's father after graduating so the two of them can stay together and Sara can become Lottie's mother in a more official way is considered. When Sara says she doesn't want to marry, Lottie offers to marry Sara's father. Both options are ultimately dismissed. | |

In The Walking Dead: Season Four Clementine, 16, is taking care of AJ, 6. The justification is that this is a zombie apocalypse, and Clementine is the only survivor of the group AJ's parents were members of, and she's been taking care of him since she was 11 and he was a newborn. The setting of this particular season is a boarding school for troubled youth with only kids and teens living there. You can make an argument that older members of this community (who are 17-18) were peer parents to younger kids (age unclear, but likely about 12). | |

Highschool of the Dead: Alice's (age 12) father gets killed while trying to find shelter for them from a horde of zombies. She gets rescued by Takashi's group only moments later. In the following episodes, Alice quickly and steadily becomes attached to Hirano and Saya, as though they're her "new" parents. The feeling is apparently mutual, as both highschool students begin to treat Alice as their ward. | |

Monsters University: Don, who has been the Older Sidekick to the rest of the Oozma Kappa frat boys, gets engaged to his frat brother Squishy's mother Sherri at the end of the movie. Everyone is weirded out (or it's at least made awkward by Don trying to make it not sound awkward) by the idea of their classmate and their other classmate's mother getting married while both classmates are still attending the same college and classes. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Nanoha officially adopted the then 6-year-old Vivio when she was just 19. One fan comic had fun with this small age difference by having Nanoha introduce Vivio to her parents with no prior information, causing her father Shiro to have a breakdown when he thought that she got Vivio the usual way at the tender age of 13 (not helped by the fact that the timeline for this hypothetical pregnancy lines up with the time she got hospitalized for totally different reasons between seasons). Taking this even further, as of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid, Vivio can transform into a teenager/young adult version of herself, which, coupled with Nanoha's own rather youthful looks, makes it appear as if they are virtually the same age. There's also Fate, who's the official guardian of Caro even though they only have a 9 year difference between them.note Technically, it's only a two year difference, since she was a clone created only a few years before the events of the first season. Caro admits during StrikerS that she tends to view her as more of a Cool Big Sis than a mother as a result. Erio would also count, but he's officially under the guardianship of the forty-something Lindy since he was rescued back when Fate was still too young to officially be his guardian. Fate goes on to become Vivio's other mother, as well as Lutecia's legal guardian for the time when her mother Megane was still in her coma. Averted with Subaru Nakajima who, while likely old enough to become Thoma's guardian in Force, despite being only six years older than he is, asks her father to take him in instead (presumably, she'd much rather be his sister). Depending on your definition of adoption, Hayate takes this to extremes. She has called the several hundred year old Wolkenritter her children ever since she was nine. Nanoha's own mother Momoko was an example in the original Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever continuity. Kyouya (who was her stepson) and Miyuki (who was her niece) are 14 and 16 years younger than her respectively. Whether this is still the case in Lyrical Nanoha or if they're Nanoha's biological siblings is unknown. |

In Mad Men Roger Sterling leaves his wife for a girl barely older than his daughter, which creeps said daughter endlessly, and her stepmother's attempt to clumsily play the Cool Big Sis card (lavishing gifts on her and trying to give her advice on men) make it even worse. Bert Cooper refers to the second Mrs. Sterling as Roger's "child bride". | |

Jackson's Shaft into his father, despite there being just a six-year age difference between the two. Demi suggests that the elder Shaft could've adopted an 18-year-old at 24. | |

The 100: In the six years in between seasons 4 and 5, Clarke, left behind on Earth following an apocalypse, finds a lone survivor in the form a 6-7 year old Grounder child. Clarke is in her late teens at the time, and adopts the child as her own. The age difference could have made this work as a Cool Big Sis dynamic, but since Clarke was Madi's sole caregiver for over half her life, Clarke thinks of and refers to Madi as her daughter and their interactions come off as parent/child, not siblings. And since the show runs on the concept of Family of Choice, no one questions this, not even Clarke's own mother when they're reunited. | |

The Mandalorian combines this with Interspecies Adoption: the title character is looking after a baby alien, and as the Season 1 finale notes, is considered his foster father by Mandalorian culture. The thing is, his ward is a 50-year-old toddler from a species that lives for centuries, while he, a human, is probablynote given his approximate age during the Clone Wars in his early-to-mid-thirties. | |

In Homestuck, Dave's much older brother is revealed to be his genetic father, through cloning shenanigans. The author indicated that Bro is 28-years-old, so he had to have been about 15 when he adopted Dave. The same likely goes for Rose's mom, who is also quite youthful. Strangely, though the published version refers to Bro as "30-something". It may just be another case of Andrew Hussie being... well, Andrew Hussie. | |

In Kamen Rider Ghost, protagonist Takeru is the heir to a Buddhist temple, whose head monk Onari became Takeru's caretaker when Takeru's father died ten years previously. At that time, Takeru would have been 8-years-old and Onari 16, so this trope applies. | |

If Wishes Were Ponies: After a nine-year-old (almost ten) Harry Potter ends up in Ponyville and turns into a unicorn colt, he's taken in by Twilight Sparkle, who becomes his adoptive mother (despite being less than a decade older than him). Every time they are shown together, it's clear to the reader (and everyone else) that he loves and respects her more than anyone else. This technically applies to the Mane 6 as well; they are all around Twilight's age, but (due to the amount of time they spend with Twilight) they all take a bit of a role in Harry's upbringing. | |

Nanoha's own mother Momoko was an example in the original Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever continuity. Kyouya (who was her stepson) and Miyuki (who was her niece) are 14 and 16 years younger than her respectively. Whether this is still the case in Lyrical Nanoha or if they're Nanoha's biological siblings is unknown. | |

After the destruction of Raccoon City and the death of her parents, Sherry Birkin (12) is somewhat adopted by Leon Kennedy (21) and Claire Redfield (18) at the end of Resident Evil 2. The 2019 remake even has her bring up the idea that the two should adopt her. Files from Resident Evil 6 reveals that the two of them become her emotional support during the years after Raccoon City due to Sherry's legal guardian, Derek Simmons, keeping her locked up until Albert Wesker's death 11 years later. | |

In the Flowers in the Attic series by VC Andrews, it's a significant plot point that Malcolm Foxworth fathered a child (Corrine) with his stepmother Alicia, who was sixteen when she married his father — a decade or more younger than Malcolm. He even states in front of his father that he cannot acknowledge a girl so much younger as his new "mother". | |

The relative ages of Batman and his Robins changes depending on the continuity, but in several versions Bruce Wayne was in his early twenties when he adopted a 10- to 12-year-old Dick Grayson, putting their ages only roughly a decade apart. Dick is likely closer in age to Bruce than to his youngest adopted brother, Damien Wayne. | |

In Tales of Symphonia, 12-year-old Genis's sister, sole caretaker and mother figure is Raine, age 23. She's been raising him since infancy, making her roughly 11 or 12 when she had to start taking care of him because their mother abandoned them. It's implied in a Z-Skit that she's been a school teacher in Iselia for around six years, but it isn't clear what she did to support them before that. | |

Dick is likely closer in age to Bruce than to his youngest adopted brother, Damien Wayne. Robin (1993): Tim Drake's stepmom Dana is young enough to be his older sister, though there would be a significant age gap, and looks younger than her actual age. She is near Dick Grayson's age, and he would eventually become Tim's older brother through adoption. |

Eureka (14-16) of Eureka Seven has three young kids who call her "mother": Maurice, Maeter, and Linck. At first Renton is pretty freaked out thinking they're her biological kids, but then he's told that they're orphans she adopted. This happened because she killed their parents when she was a soldier for the Special Operations Force, which led to her having a Heel Realization and adopting the three orphans as a form of atonement. In the epilogue, Renton (also 16) marries Eureka and her children become his too, taking on his last name of Thurston. | |

Kamen Rider: In Kamen Rider Ghost, protagonist Takeru is the heir to a Buddhist temple, whose head monk Onari became Takeru's caretaker when Takeru's father died ten years previously. At that time, Takeru would have been 8-years-old and Onari 16, so this trope applies. In Kamen Rider Gotchard, Kyoka adopted Spanner when he was 14 and she 24. |

Gundam: At age 15, Fraw Bow from Mobile Suit Gundam starts taking care of the orphans Kikka (4), Retsu (5) and Katz (8). Seven years later, we see them again in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: 22-year-old Fraw has married victorious Hayato and they have adopted the three kids, who are now 11 (Kikka), 12 (Retsu) and 15 (Katz, who even joins the cast as a regular). Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: In Steel Seven, it's shown that Tetenith's stepmother Europa is, at the most, maybe 10 years older than she is. Likely a case of political marriage on the part of her father Crux, who was the sovereign of Jupiter. Mobile Suit Victory Gundam: 12-year-old Shakti rescues an orphaned baby after a Zanscare attack, and is still shown raising him at the end. |

Both played straight and subverted in the van der Linde gang from Red Dead Redemption and its Prequel Red Dead Redemption 2. Dutch van der Linde who was a Parental Substitute to John Marston, the Player Character, is about eighteen years older than John whom he took in at twelve. However, in the latter that takes place twelve years earlier, he's also a father figure to its protagonist Arthur, who is only about eight years older than him whom he "adopted" when he was 14. However II introduces a co-leader/"co-parent" to John and Arthur with Dutch whose name is Hosea. He's about eleven years older than Dutch which makes him thirty years older than John and twenty years older than Arthur (which isn't as common today but isn't that far off base in the 1890s). Hosea is also the person who's their actual Parental Substitute, Arthur even calls him his "pa" and says he loves him more than Dutch. | |

In the Brazilian telenovela Força de um Desejo the protagonist is just a couple of years older than her stepsons. Slave girl Luzia jokes that she's young enough to be Inácio's wife instead of his stepmother, which is an Accidental Truth as she was supposed to marry Inácio before tragedy hit them. Towards her other stepson Abelardo she settles more on a Cool Big Sis role. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Taken to an extreme example with Walder Frey, who keeps marrying women and bearing children despite being over 90 years by now. His current wife, Joyeuse Erenford, is 16 years old, while his eldest child, Stevron, is 65. Out of the twenty eight trueborn children Walder conceived before his marriage to Joyeuse, only six of them are younger than her. Viserys I Targaryen's second wife, Alicent Hightower, was only 9 years older than Rhaenyra, Viserys' daughter with his first wife. Alicent's youngest son, Daeron, and Rhaenyra's eldest son, Jacaerys, were the same age, and were actually brought up together in the hopes that a showdown between the rivaling families could be averted (it didn't). Samantha Tarly married Ormund Hightower when he already had a teenage son, Lyonel, who was only two years younger than her. After Ormund died, Samantha and Lyonel fell in love with and ultimately married each other. |

Jake "the Snake" Roberts was only six years younger than his stepmother Marcia Smith. This is due to his father, Aurelian "Grizzly" Smith, being a notorious pedophile who sexually abused numerous young girls (and according to Jake, Marcia sexually abused him as well). In fact, Jake's actual mother was only 13 when Jake was born, having been raped by Grizzly while Jake's grandmother (who was dating Grizzly at the time) was passed out. | |

In the Under Suspicion (Series), Alex Buckley became his younger brother Andrew's legal guardian when he was twenty-one and Andrew was seventeen, after their parents both died within a few years of each other. As a result, the brothers are very close, with Andrew having a key to Alex's apartment and occasionally popping round to see him. Alex also empathizes with Laurie, who was left to raise her son by herself (albeit with help from her father) after her husband was murdered. | |

The Walking Dead: Season Two: Clementine (11) becomes one to AJ (a newborn) after his parents die. Season 4 introduces a boarding school that was left by adults right at the start of the Zombie Apocalypse, leaving kids to fend for themselves. Many of the older members (about 16-18 now) can be considered this to the younger kids (8-10 now). | |

There's a Touhou Project 4koma in a near-mundane setting in which Suwako and Sanae, who already have this kind of relationship in canon, are classmates of the 11-year-old Letty and 17-year-old Yuuka respectively (Usual warnings about Danbooru and NSFW ads apply). They are still mother and daughter, in that order, which has been commented on being a special case. It has been theorized that Suwako merely looks young... and also has the mentality of a child and still attends elementary school. It has eventually been shown that they both look their age and aren't related in blood, which does raise the question of what in her name Kanako was doing at a children's festival with a bag of sweets and a marriage contract. | |

Modern Family: Claire and Mitchell's stepmother Gloria is roughly the same age as them — it's stated at one point that Gloria is in fact a few months younger than Claire, and less than two years older than Mitchell. (In fact, Sofia Vergara, who plays Gloria, is two years younger than Julie Bowen, who plays Claire, and just over three years older than Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell.) It's also been remarked on the show that Gloria's son Manny is technically a step-brother to Claire and Mitchell, even though he's the same age as Luke, his "nephew". Both Luke and Hayley have gotten around certain age limits by telling people "my uncle will be chaperoning" without mentioning which uncle. This usually backfires because Manny is actually a pretty good chaperone. |

It's stated that the 17th head, Kaoru's father, died 17 years before, making the new adoptive mother 16- to 17-years-old and younger than her son who, from his age in flashbacks, appears to be 6-8 years older than her. Ryouga in Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger is 21 with parental responsibility for his orphaned 6-year-old niece. In Gosei Sentai Dairanger, 18-year-old Rin takes on the role of parent for 9-year-old Kou after the death of his mother. Played with in the show's Distant Finale which implies that they got married in the future. |

Child of the Storm has Jane Foster is in her late twenties when Harry is thirteen. This contributes to the initial awkwardness between the two, along with the Parent with New Paramour thing, even if Lily is long dead (and gently firm on the 'til death do us part bit, even if she's Not Quite Dead)), with Jane lampshading the relatively small age difference and noting that she doesn't think she's ready for kids yet, let alone a teenager. Over time, though, Harry becomes a Shipper on Deck for Thor/Jane and has a ready-made maternal substitute in his godmother Wanda, so Jane — who treats him more like her foster brother, who's maybe five years older than Harry (who sees her as a sort of Cool Aunt) — doesn't have to take that role. | |

Star Wars Rebels: Kanan becomes Ezra's master after the latter commits to being a Jedi. The show clearly implies that Kanan is a father figure for Ezra, even though Kanan was a young teenager when Ezra was born. Technically applies to Hera as well; she's around Kanan's age, yet acts as a mother figure for Sabine (who spends most of the series separated from her family and clan) and Ezra. | |

At the end of the first Safehold book, Off Armageddon Reef, 10-year-old Hektor Aplyn becomes Hektor Aplyn-Ahrmahk, the adopted son of King, later Emperor, Cayleb, who is not even twenty yet. The adoption, and elevation to the rank of Duke of Darcos, are in of honor Cayleb's father, King Haarahld, who gave his life protecting Hektor, at the time mere midshipman on his flagship, in the Battle of Darcos Sound. Despite the small age gap, and the fact that his biological family is still alive and well, Hektor refers to Cayleb and his wife Sharleyan as "father" and "mother" when they're together. Hektor is generally shown early on to be far more overwhelemd by his new rank than his adopted parents. | |

Ace Attorney: Trucy's dad Phoenix "Nick" Wright is 33, while she is 15. Protagonist Apollo does the math and is mind boggled by the implications of this fairly small age gap. However, it later turns out that Trucy was adopted by Phoenix (Of course, long-time players of the series could guess that already long before that point, since Trucy was never mentioned before the seven-year Time Skip between the end of the Phoenix trilogy and Apollo Justice). This becomes somewhat Hilarious in Hindsight when you calculate the age difference between Apollo and his biological mother and learn that it is exactly the same as the age gap between Phoenix and Trucy. Ace Attorney Investigations 2 introduces another one, with Hakari Mikigami (Justine Courtney in the fan translation), age 26, and her adoptive son Shimon Aizawa (John Marsh), age 13. His biological mother and his adoptive mother were cousins. While the small age gap will clue the player in that he's probably adopted, the fact of importance to the plot is the name of his real father. |

Star Wars Legends: A not-uncommon practice for the Mandalorians. They take parenting very seriously (to the point where calling one an "unfit parent" is a shoot-to-kill insult), but blood ties? Not so much. An adult with no family ties (or willing to sever former ties) who is willing and able to live the code, fight under Mandalore's banner, and accept training from an established Mandalorian is as good a candidate for adoption as an orphaned tyke who can be raised in the life. | |

In Sword Art Online, pictured above, Kirito (age 16) and Asuna (age 17) adopt the little girl Yui in the VRMMORPG of the same name. Yui is technically less than 2-years-old, but acts closer to a precocious 6-year-old. | |

In Long Live the Queen: Bennett, the Earl-Consort of Dis, is only thirteen years older than his stepdaughter Gwenelle. He's been married to her mother Lieke since Gwenelle was a baby and she considers him her father. If Elodie plays her cards right, she can end up married to Ignatius, the older brother of the Duchess of Ursul. Elodie is 14-years-old, 24 years younger than the 38-year-old Ignatius, and a year younger than her own stepdaughter Briony (who is appropriately mortified). |
