* In ''Film/MyGirl'', Vada's mother went the DeathByChildbirth way. She doesn't seem bothered by her father dating the new employee Shelley, and she gets along quite well with her future stepmother -- who does prove quite helpful when Vada unexpectedly gets her first period. Apparently, no one had told her about such things yet, [[TheTalk so Shelley steps in to explain and comfort.]]
** The sequel's showing of their relationship is beautiful, since Shelley and Vada are close without Shelley trying to replace Vada's mother. Shelley steps in to talk to Vada's dad when she worries that Vada is going to feel neglected due to the new baby and reminds him to spend time with her, talks frankly to Vada about the changes in her body due to her pregnancy, is genuinely interested in Vada's life and in knowing about her dead mother. She is the one who encourages Vada to learn about her mom and go on a trip across the country to try and find out more about her. Their relationship is a wonderful example of somebody being a parent without trying to replace a missing parent.

* ''Fanfic/ADivineRomanticComedy'': Given that the fundamental premise was the budding relationship between [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Camila Noceda]], and [[WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel Lucifer Morningstar]], this inevitably ensues for their respective daughters, Luz and Charlie when they learn that their parents are dating again. In Luz's case, after some comforting from both Stringbean and Camila help her with her initial apprehension due to Camila and Lucifer (operating under the guise of "Lucius Magne") met in a bar that her late father Manny loved, she becomes very receptive to the idea, simply glad that her mom's finding happiness again. In Charlie's case, she's downright depressed at first, having hoped Lucifer and Lilith would get back together and being downright scornful of her father's new girlfriend, much to her guilt.

* ''Film/{{Louisa}}'': Played straight, except for the fact that the mother and son involved are 20-30 years older than characters usually are with this trope. Hal, a StandardFiftiesFather (played by UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan) gets very upset when his mother Louisa, a widow in her seventies, starts up a DecemberDecemberRomance. He even tries to forbid his mom from seeing her new boyfriend, Henry the elderly grocer.

* One story on ''WebSite/NotAlwaysRight'' has a man call an online store to complain that they [[https://notalwaysright.com/daddys-little-hacker/71124/ hacked his email and canceled his order from them]], a gift for his girlfriend. After investigation, his daughter had canceled the order because she doesn't like the girlfriend.

* ''Film/{{Steam}}'':

* In ''VideoGame/StickyBusiness'', Marc starts dating Pedro after the former lost his wife one year ago, but he's nervous about telling the his son David because he fears that David might think Pedro will "replace" his mother. [[spoiler:However, David turns out to be supportive of their relationship, and even buys Marc your Pride stickers to support them.]]

* In ''VideoGame/StickyBusiness'', Marc starts dating Pedro, but is nervous about telling the former's son David because Marc fears that David might think Pedro will "replace" his late mother (Marc's wife).

* {{ParentWithNewParamour/Literature}}

* ''Webcomic/LettersToAnAbsentFather'', a mini-comic series set in the ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' universe has this as one of its subjects. Delia states that she's gonna start dating again, going as far as to say, "I'm lonely, Ash..." Ash responds by shouting her down (in front of his friends, no less) and storming out, leaving her in tears. [[spoiler:In the last panel, a severely distraught Ash is writing down all the details in a letter to his father]]; Ash still clings to the hope that [[WhenYouComingHomeDad his long-lost, estranged father will someday come home]].

* Marten in ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' is very happy when his father Henry announces that he's getting remarried to his boyfriend Maurice, and Marten is thrilled to [[HasTwoMommies have two dads now]] and calls Maurice "[[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1522 Dad Two, Dad Harder]]". A good bit of it is that his mother Veronica approves of Maurice, and her marriage to Henry ended because [[LastHetRomance he realized he was gay]] and the two [[AmicableExes still have a strong relationship]].

WickedStepmother may be referred to in either 2 or 3 -- regardless of accuracy. And any plot with BlendedFamilyDrama will rely on 2 or 3. MarryTheNanny generally falls under 1, since she usually already has the children's love and trust by the time she strikes up a romance with the parent. The GoodStepmother usually falls under 1 or 2; either the kids will instantly love and accept her, or they're initially unsure until she wins them over.

** Laurie dates her son's coach. It doesn't appear he even knows, so we don't get Roy's reaction.
