Ahhh, motherhood. What a beautiful, wonderful and sometimes (excruciatingly) painful experience. Nowhere is that more evident than in the wacky mother-daughter dynamics of one of TV’s most popular shows, Gilmore Girls.
Yes, Rory and Lorelai may be ever-so-slightly codependent, and yes, we would never dare give our mothers the amount of sass that Rory gets away with. But there’s a reason why the show was so popular: they had the relationship we all dreamed of having with our own mothers. Rory and Lorelai defined mother and daughter relationship goals. Now that many of us are moms, we see how “Made for TV” it was…Regardless, it’s still fun to watch these characters say all the things you WISH you could say, both as a mom and as a daughter.
Lets take a look at some of the best mother-daughter moments from the show.
