** Alice's ''daughter'', Claire, is 3 years older than Bob and Alice's children in general had an almost sibling-like relationship with their uncle. Alice's youngest is the only one with a normal uncle-to-nephew age with Bob, which ironically feels unnatural and weird to him. Bob doesn't have kids until he's much older and [[MayDecemberRomance marries a woman young enough to be his daughter]] and Claire has kids at a young age, so Claire's grandchildren, and thus, Alice's ''great-grandchildren'' and Bob's children are of similar age.

** Given the massive age gap, Bob has to experience the tragedy of losing his parents at an unusually young age, which gives Bob PTSD, and a bit of guilt because although it feels it, his parents were not young when they passed. Worse yet, Alice passes away from natural causes when Bob isn't much older, compounding the trauma.
Added DiffLines:
** Bob doesn't hold anything against his parents or sister for being so much older than him, it just is what it is. He instead naturally finds himself in a MayDecemberRomance and his kids are all born close together, with the logic being at least one of their parents will probably still be around when they're in their 50s.
