Trope that can die:

Grown men telling their small sons to “take care of things now” like their grown, capable mother isn’t standing right there, listening.

In addition to being misogynist, it’s emotional child abuse. Children already suffer with ideas of being more responsible for their families than they are. Many children blame themselves for divorces, parental arguments, deaths in the family, etc. Literally telling a child they’re responsible for the whole family is emotional abuse.

Can we add the thing where a girl grows up without a mother and she’s the one taking care of her dad? Like, grown up and picking up after him and getting his meals ready for him? Daughters without mothers are not replacement wives! 

^ tell that to my father

In psychology it’s called parentification and it can be really psychologically damaging. It can contribute to a loss of childhood and a loss of natural role in relationships. It can end up leading to a lot of resentment and inability to form healthy relationships in adulthood. In worst case scenarios it can cause a narcissistic self-identity crisis.
