Somewhat justified if [[Hollywood History|set in the past when girls might get married at 12-14 and boys at 15-19]]. In modern times, it [[We All Live in America|depends on your country]] [[Values Dissonance|and the culture]] you live. Avoid posting examples of why you [[May-December Romance|believe a relationship]] is squicky unless it is declared as such in-universe by the author or the characters themselves. This trope isn't about the morality of [[Teen Pregnancy]] or what is considered [[There Should Be a Law|statutory rape]].
 
Compare [[Playing Gertrude]] if the actress playing the mother is absurdly youthful. [[No Real Life Examples, Please]]. This is for [[Fridge Logic]] parent ages where the issue is swept under the rug, not parent ages that could (hypothetically) be possible.

== [[Literature]] ==
* In the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novels, the Eighth Doctor at one point mentions being a grandfather -- he appears to be in his mid-thirties at the time. His companion Fitz is a bit confused. He later adopts a young girl named Miranda, who ages rather normally, so he looks about forty (and claims to be thirty-six) when she's sixteen, which other characters see as slightly unusual. But after she leaves to have her own life and they're later reunited, several decades have passed since the last time they met, so she actually looks older than he does.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 194:
* In ''[[Rentaghost]]'', ghosts manifest as they age they were when they died. So Hubert Davenport's mother, who died in her twenties, looks much younger than her son, who died when he was much older (his late fifties or early sixties).
* In ''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'', the title character's son Connor is kidnapped as an infant and trapped in [[Another Dimension]] where time passes much more rapidly, so when he reappears a few months later- from the perspective of the other characters- he is already in his teens. Angel also only ''looks'' young; as an immortal vampire, he is [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really Three Hundred Years Old]].
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' takes this to insane levels, where, due to a mixture of time travel, [[The Nth Doctor|Regeneration]] and slower aging, {{spoiler|Melody Pond}} is physically in her 40s for much of the series (though chronologically at least a decade older by her {{spoiler|River Song}} incarnation]]), while her parents are physically in their 20s (though mentally, her father is technically {{spoiler|almost 2000}}).
* [[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena]] was somewhere in her 20s/30s when she had her daughter Eve. Shortly after Eve's birth, Xena was frozen in ice for two decades. When she emerges unaged, she and Eve look the same age - and physically, that's almost the case.
* In ''[[Torchwood Children of Earth (TV)|Torchwood Children of Earth]]'', the immortal Jack's daughter Alice is upset that she looks older than him.
Line 234:
** Despite the show/game being filled with [[Generic Cuteness]], Tomoya specifically states Sanae's youthful appearance is strange and mysterious. This is made extremely apparent when you [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckH-mSrme6k compare her to the midwife who delivered little Ushio]. This midwife was actually a classmate of Sanae's in high school.
** She also fits in the "pregnancy at a young age folder" since its stated that she was pregnant at a young age. Combine it with this folder and it comes as no surprise that she is also a [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|hot grandma]], who perfectly could to be mistaken by the mother of her granddaughter, at least.
* In a similar vein to Sanae, Miyuki Takara's mother Yukari in ''[[Lucky Star (Anime)|Lucky Star]]'' looks like she could pass herself off as an older sister. Then again, it ''is'' a [[Improbably -Female Cast]].
** And if Yukari, then certainly Miki, the mother of Inori, Matsuri, Kagami, and Tsukasa. She's claimed to be 47, and although it was a lie (she thought it was cute and expected), a 47-year-old woman could easily have four college-age daughters... but she still looks like she could be one of the sisters herself.
* ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]:'' Takano Morisato could pass for a sister of Keiichi and Megumi, instead of their mother.
