Let's not make this like every family has the uncles and aunts younger that their nieces and nephews. It is uncommon, because most children do not have children until after their parents are done having children, and yes I get with the rise in teen pregnancy, along with women having children later and later, it is probably becoming more common, but to make it like a normal everyday thing, is just not correct. Of course, Once is in a class all its own as we have characters who are (in mind, not in body) hundreds of years older that their love interests (looking at you Rumple and Belle, and Hook and Emma), but this is somewhat common in fantasy/sci fi where people can somehow stop the aging process. So in conclusion, Once has very weird family dynamics, which is part of the fun of the show.
