All the fun of unplanned parenthood, with none of the bother of unprotected premarital sex! So, you're a single thirtysomething with a few issues. You're a workaholic, or you're immature, irresponsible, or something like that. And suddenly, you're forced to raise a kid. Maybe they're the recently orphaned child of your older, more responsible sibling who passed away tragically. Maybe they're a young cousin sent to live with you while their parents are away for a while. Maybe they're actually a child you had in your young dumb phase that you didn't even know you had. Whatever the reason, they're here and you have to raise them. Sucks, doesn't it? You have no experience with kids, and between that and whatever your other problems are, you're really not cut out to be a parent at all. So this is absolutely the last thing you need. Or at least, that's how you feel at first. But actually, the parenthood that has been suddenly thrust upon you is a good thing. Apparently, having a kid to take care of is like therapy and a dating service rolled into one — by the end of the movie (or series, or arc, or what have you), not only will you have learned how to be a good parent (with some hilarious mishaps along the way, most likely) and gotten over all of your issues, you'll have found a love interest too. Now the three of you can be a happy family unit together. Aww. Frequently used in works starring aging or maturing performers who are seeking to soften their image, to play off of comedic dissonance, or simply because the performer involved wants to do something that is family oriented for a change. Note: This can, but does not specifically, occur in Soviet Russia. Promotion to Parent also forces maturity but often with the added toughness of the new "parent" being not much older than the kids and often the "kid" is their younger sibling. Numerous Child Care and Babysitting Stories rely on and invoke this trope, as the most irresponsible and unfit guardian figure can mature and undergo development due to the experience of raising a child. A common result of Sink or Swim Fatherhood. Compare Babies Make Everything Better. See also Resentful Guardian. |

A heartbreaking example in AIR, where the Hard-Drinking Party Girl mother (actually an aunt) purposely acts irresponsibly and unparentlike because the kid is cursed to become physically ill whenever she loves and is loved in return, whether it be familial, friendship or romantic love, and also because she didn't want to get too attached to her out of fear that her father would one day come to take her away. Haruko only realizes that she was wrong and begins to act like a mother when Misuzu gets sick anyway, from befriending and falling in love with Yukito. | |

Real Steel: Charlie initially has no interest in Max other than using him to blackmail his sister-in-law's husband out of some quick(though badly-needed) cash. Over the course of the movie he discovers that he actually likes the kid. And when his own screwups come back to haunt both of them, he sends Max back to Debra and Marvin and rejects the second payment out of disgust at his own actions. But after some snuggle time with his girlfriend and a pep talk, he confesses everything to Max and asks him to stand with him in the bout with Zeus. In the end, spending just three months taking care of his son has improved every aspect of him, not only as a fighter but as a human being. | |

In the Sahara Mizu manga My Girl, when the protagonist's high school girlfriend dies suddenly, he learns that the real reason she cut off contact with him years ago was to hide the fact that she was pregnant with his child. Said child is now five years old and, of course, has to come live with her father — who is a shy pushover with no idea how to be a parent. | |

Naruto in general seems to like this trope. The Third Hokage invokes it by assigning Kakashi three students of his own to teach, in the hopes that becoming a teacher might soften him up a bit and help him re-connect with others. Sadly none work (because he keeps failing them) until he is assigned the titular Naruto, along with Sakura and Sasuke, who are the only Genin to pass his "impossible" test. They pass by demonstrating teamwork, something which none of the other Genin truly did before. The explicit goal of the test is to snatch one of the bells hanging around Kakashi's waist, but in reality it's a test to see if they are capable of working together. Kakashi himself borrowed the test from his late mentor, Minato. | |

In Time Squad, Larry and Tuddrussel have enough problems working with each other and doing their job, due to a complete lack of knowledge about history... Until they meet Otto Osworth, an orphaned 8-year-old history buff, who they illegally take into the squad (not without hesitation at first). Otto gains a better life, while Larry and Tuddrussel now have someone to keep them from killing each other; their Like an Old Married Couple dynamic also quickly makes them become like a mother and father to Otto, respectively. | |

Discussed in the Friends episode "The One With Rachel's Other Sister." Rachel's ditzy, Spoiled Brat of a sister Amy fantasizes about Ross and Rachel dying so she could get their daughter Emma and live this plot. Needless to say, Ross and Rachel never had any intention of letting Amy raise their daughter, and her joy at imagining their deaths does nothing to change their minds. | |

Discussed in The Dresden Files; when Harry ends up taking Molly Carpenter as his apprentice in order to save her life, Michael says it will be good for both of them, because being responsible for someone forces you to become a stronger, more patient, more caring person. Unusually for this trope, however, Harry was by no means an irresponsible person before, (being one of the best examples of Chronic Hero Syndrome you could hope for,) he just becomes even stronger with Molly as a Morality Chain of sorts to help him deal with the stresses of his terrible life without snapping. | |

In Discworld, this seems to have happened to Death, who adopted his daughter, Ysabell, after reaping the souls of her deceased parents. This first-hand interaction with a mortal child (and later Ysabell's daughter, Susan) is presumably a part of why he's developed such a fondness (and attempt to imitate) humanity. | |

DuckTales (1987): The original series has a recursive example. Huey, Dewey, and Louie were already transferred to the care of their Uncle Donald before the series started (see above under Comic Books). The series begins with Donald heading off to join the Navy and leaving the boys in the care of his miserly, curmudgeonly Uncle Scrooge. The boys melt the heart of the bitter old duck, and inspire him to be a much kinder and all-around better person for it. In the 2017 reboot, the above example remains, but the triplets weren't the first kids to warm Scrooge's cold heart. Years ago, Scrooge had long since isolated himself from his family between traveling the globe and running his company, then his sister and brother-in-law died and their children, Donald and Della, were placed in his care. Scrooge grew to love the twins as his own, and they eventually became an adventuring trio. Unfortunately, the loss of Della and Donald cutting ties with his uncle because of it broke Scrooge so badly he became a recluse. It took reuniting with Donald and meeting Huey, Dewey and Louie for the old duck to find the drive to adventure and enjoy life again. |

The Owl House: Despite her status as the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles, Eda's personal life was a complete mess at the beginning of the series. She was estranged from her entire family, her love life is implied to have been nothing but a long string of short-lived messy relationships for the past several decades, and she was forced to scrape by selling human garbage. Taking care of Luz gave her the stability that she needed to start getting her life back on track, with her even admitting in the penultimate episode of season 1 how she had been wasting her potential beforehand. | |

Huey, Louie and Dewey were supposed to stay with their uncle, Donald Duck, only until their dad returned from the hospital (the triplets themselves are responsible for that, by the way). Neither father nor mother are ever referenced again, though, and they have lived with their Unca Donald since then. Good for him, as they save Don from life-threatening situations in a current basis, showing a superior intelligence and maturity level over him. That's not to say Donald hasn't gained any growth from entering paternity; as hilariously dysfunctional as their relationship may be, he effectively serves as the boys' daddy, raising them with his very low income and sincerely wanting the kids to have the best future possible. | |

Ghosts of Evangelion: When Asuka gets pregnant, Shinji and she are very, very frightened because they didn’t want to have children and they did not think they would be good parents due to their crappy childhoods and lingering psychological issues. Still they try to be good parents, and with a bit of help of Misato and Kaji, Ryuko develops into a happy, mentally healthy girl. | |

In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS second sound stage, Fate worries that her adoptive children, Erio and Caro, by insisting that they are fine at the moment, are hiding any true problems that they may have (while they don't want to worry her and wish to become a bit more independent). By the end, when they come to an understanding, Fate reflects on Lindy's advice to let your adoptive children raise you, and thinks that was the case when she was being raised by her and Precia (before the latter went insane). | |

The Flash (2014): Cicada/Orlin Dwyer, the Big Bad of season 5, has this as part of his origin. He used to be a obnoxious, short-tempered alcoholic discontent with his life and work. Then his sister and her husband were killed by a metahuman, and he became the legal guardian of their daughter Grace. After a rocky start, and a good Calling the Old Man Out by Grace, Orlin warmed up to her, got his act together, and tried everything he could to be a good parent for her. Then she got hit by falling debris of Devoe's satellite and ended up in a coma from which she might never wake up, prompting Orlin to start his crusade against Metahumans. | |

Life as We Know It: After a disastrous blind date, Eric and Holly would be glad to never see each other again. But their friends — the ones who had set them up — die in a car crash, and had given them joint custody of their toddler, forcing them to put aside their differences and rise to the occasion, improving themselves (and their relationship) in the process. | |

Big Daddy with Adam Sandler, has Sandler's character saddled with a kid that is literally left at his door; he at first wants nothing to do with the kid, but he and the kid strike up a friendship that eventually becomes so strong that Sonny decides to adopt the boy permanently. This one has a bit of a twist in the way the adult grows up though: Sonny at the start is a lazy, Jerkass unemployed man; Sonny at the end is a mature (if still goofy) lawyer. (He was a Syracuse law graduate who has no plan whatsoever of taking his bar exam, instead living off a fat settlement from getting his foot run over years ago.) | |

Played with in AfO's Guide To A Peaceful Retirement: a significant portion of professional villain All For One's development into civilian Hisashi Midoriya occurs prior to Izuku's birth, but it's his promise to look after Izuku after Inko's death, and his choice to prioritize Izuku over all other matters in his life, that solidifies Hisashi's decision to end his villainous career. As Izuku grows, caring for Izuku's needs forces Hisashi to socially re-engage with the world outside of villain circles, leading to the development of his Found Family and the broadening of his life experience. | |

Knox in the 1994 remake (who's basically the same as Duffy, also a baseball manager), becomes a better person by surrogate-parenting Roger and JP, two kids in foster care who prayed that the California Angels (Knox's team) will win the pennant, and who keeps Roger around as a good luck charm/consultant for the team. |

Child of the Storm has this happen several times, on a more subdued level. Thor becoming a father again/regaining his memories of his life as James Potter forces him to grow up rather rapidly, to the point where he is (for the most part) significantly more mature than the MCU Thor he was derived from, becoming effectively the senior member of the Avengers in more than just chronological age. He is also usually seriously stressed, because Harry has an impossible knack for finding the shortest road between his nose and the worst trouble imaginable. Tony becomes a father at the start of the second book, and is noted to have toned down some - though not by any means all - of his Cloudcuckoolander antics for the sake of looking after his newborn daughter. Even before she is born, he's encouraging the last person on the list to get involved... ... Steve Rogers, who finds out at the end of the first book that he happens to be a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is both astonished and profoundly uncomfortable; firstly, he feels that he left Peggy in the lurch (despite the fact that it was so early that only Doctor Strange could possibly know that Peggy was pregnant and "it takes two to tango"), and secondly, in physical and mental terms, he's not even 30 yet. As a result, he has an initially difficult relationship with Carol, his teenage great-granddaughter, before coming around early in the second book and eventually becoming a full-fledged Parental Substitute. |

In Baby Boom (1987), the baby was left behind by a very distant, European relative that the protagonist, J.C., hardly even remembered. J.C., a yuppie, initially is focused only on her careers and has no interest in having children, but eventually grows attached to Elizabeth, the baby, forcing her to re-evaluate her priorities, so she decides to become a working parent and to raise Elizabeth herself. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo becomes something more than the reincarnation of his sire's hatred while training Gohan. Also from Z, you could argue that Goku undergoes a significant maturation from the end of Dragonball to the beginning of Z due to the birth of Gohan. We also see him change and grow over time training with his son, most notably in the Cell Saga where he has gone from martial artist to Master in his own right. |

An interesting take on the trope is important to the backstory of a major character in Tales of the Abyss. Guy Cecil originally was a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing with Revenge Before Reason for the Fabre family as he's the sole survivor of his family who was slaughtered by Duke Fabre fifteen years ago. But then Luke fon Fabre was kidnapped and, unknown to anyone there, replaced with a replica (they thought he had Identity Amnesia). Guy was assigned to be the main servant to care for Luke and make him "remember" and "recover" from his amnesia. As a replica, this Luke was a baby in a ten year old body. Guy caring for him made him give up on his Revenge by Proxy scheme and his friendship with Luke is now genuine. | |

Phantom Quest Corp.: Parodied. While Ayaka is Phantom Quest's president, it doesn't take long to see that it's Mamoru's management skills that actually keeps the company afloat. At only 12, he handles all of the administrative duties. Plus, he has to wake Ayaka up each morning, because she keeps getting plastered and oversleeping. | |

Ingrained in the premise of My Two Dads. Thirteen years before the series starts, Joey and Michael had competed for Marcy's affections, ruining their friendship in the process. Upon Marcy's death, there is no way to know which is the father of Nicole -in 1987, DNA paternity tests didn't exist, and blood tests could only tell the court who the father wasn't. The judge solves the problem by awarding Joey and Michael joint custody, with the stipulation the two live together to raise Nicole. | |

In Sakende Yaruze!, Shino goes through this process when the 17 year old son he didn't know he had shows up on his doorstep. He moves past his first love (his son's now-deceased mother), gains some emotional maturity, and ends up with a Love Interest as well. However, unlike the happy family unit scenario mentioned above, his new relationship is what causes his son to then leave him and go back to living with his strict grandmother instead. | |

Played quite realistically in The Second Try, after Asuka and Shinji find out her birth control has failed. Neither of them take it well at first, but once the shock wears off it makes their relationship even stronger, and they go on to be very Good Parents to little Aki. | |

About a Boy, both the book and the film (though they do lack the "death" aspect of this trope, the rest fits.) | |
