Gotta be found family movies, particularly if the parental figure didn't want the responsibility in the first place or if they're clueless, gruff, and/or emotionally not prepared for a child.

So movies like Logan, Ice Age, Wild Robot, Up, or Despicable Me and shows like The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones (Arya and the Hound), and The Witcher.

I was trying to think of more found family mother shows and movies and honestly couldn't think of more. Most of the ones involving women that I could find are of friend groups or there was no hesitation to pretty much adopt the child.

    I guess it's more of a trope than a genre but it was what I first thought about. Most of the genres I enjoy aren't guilty pleasures since I don't have any guilt in liking them.

    Found family movies and shows, however, make me feel a little guilty since my parents weren't necessarily but more emotionally distant. So it's like a tinge of sadness when watching them.

    Try a French classic from the 80s, Three Men and a Cradle (3 hommes et un couffin). Maybe not exactly the same, but similar enough that you might find it fun.
