Gabbing Gilmore: A Gilmore Girls Deep Dive

37. Subscriber Only: Is Lorelai a Selfish Mom?


Listen Later

Along with being quirky, caffeinated, and fast-talking, the other common adjective some critics use to describe Lorelai Gilmore is “selfish.” Including the way she mothers Rory.


Today, sisters and Gilmore experts Jackie and Catherine explore:


  • What IS a selfish mom?
  • What’s the difference between being selfish and self-centered?
  • What are society’s expectations for mothers today, and why aren’t dads often called selfish?
  • What are the moments when Lorelai put her daughter’s needs, social life, and future above her own?


And finally, was it selfish for Lorelai to keep Rory from the Gilmores and from Christopher? 


Today is a brutally honest, “let's get real” kind of episode.
