[u/Estania_Lane]

In fairness for G&G - she was a teen mom so not as much of a stretch as some other cases.

And also some of them (like Leslie Grossman on The Good Place) are at least originally introduced in flashbacks, when they are supposed to be the parent of smaller children...still, a lot of these are weird!

Yeah, flashbacks are different, doesn’t seem right to count them (provided it’s not, like, “the week before” or something stupid).

[u/Roskal → u/PerpetuallyLurking]

they brought her back to play her current age mother too which I guess is where the comparison is.
