Yeah, I think she just said to shut her up. After that she wanted to buy Lorelai and Luke a house as the wedding gift for their first planned wedding.
peacheslatour - Maybe Richard and Emily weren't perfect, cool parents. But honestly, besides being stricted and not very warm, what is so horrible about them?
So many parents tries to get rid of pregnancy of their teenage daughter, or forced to giving the baby up for adoption, throwing their pregnant kid out of the house. Was Lorelai beaten as a child, molested, abused, forced to work, starving? No. She was sort of spoiled and privileged, went to very expesive private school.
And she compared her mother to Stalin in the interview for a magazine. Seriously? Was she that bad?
And really she was trying to manipulate Rory as well, with apllying to diffrent colleges than Harvar, with Harvard obsession (which was her own), with Yale, with Jess, with Logan, with her grandparents.
And I feel that Lorelai played a huge role in breaking Rory and Logan up. After all I think Rory regrets not accepting the proposal, cuz she is still in love with Logan and is not able to tell him to not get married and to be with her instead. That might be the influence of her mother screwed up relationships with men.
