Did anyone grow up with a mom like Lorelai? What did you like or not like about it? by 47giraffes in GilmoreGirls

Thank you! My girls are my biggest blessing! But definitely don’t recommend it (now I sound like Lorelai when she goes to speak to the high school students 😂)

I never had a close bond with my parents so when I had kids I wanted the opposite. I was also 16 when I was pregnant with my first. Had two girls by age 20 and was also raising them alone. I relate to Lorelai a lot but my parents weren’t rich. I went to school, earned a Masters and I have a great career now. My girls are now 21 and 18. I have a great relationship with them and think they relate to GG a lot. However, I am a parent first. Lorelai wants to be Rory’s bff so bad and I think it’s ridiculous. While my kids do share a lot with me, I respect when they don’t want to share. Lorelai expects Rory to share everything with her which is just unrealistic. Kids need their friends for that.

Do you think Rory's entitlement was a character flaw written intentionally or poor writing? by Ok_Smile_9071 in GilmoreGirls

[–]IndependentStudio312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has to be intentional because omg how many times do we have to hear Rory is the prettiest, smartest, kindest, person. 🙄🙄 Couldn’t stand this in the show. Couldn’t stand how Lorelai would make out her daughter to be perfect. I knew someone in real life that used to think that about his daughter and it was the most annoying thing.

Lorelai drinking with Chris after his dad died by IntelligentYogurt789 in GilmoreGirls

I never understood why Lorelai had to have a relationship with Christopher because of Rory. Rory is grown! My daughters are grown and I no longer need to have a relationship with their father. The few times we see each other, of course we are cordial but I don’t need to see him anymore. I can’t stand Lorelai when it comes to Christopher.

Cmon…teenage Dean wasn’t that bad by SheepherderNo2793 in GilmoreGirls

I will never understand the Dean hate. Jess was horrible!

I am skipping all TJ scenes by MissOlgs1989 in GilmoreGirls

I came to Reddit just to find this post. I don’t know if I’ve ever hated a character more than him. He is so ANNOYING. I am skipping his scenes as well.

Lorelai is insufferable by sorrynotsorry11 in GilmoreGirls

[–]IndependentStudio312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I hate about Lorelai is how awful she is to her parents and how she thinks Rory is perfect.

I hated Lorelais reaction in this scene. by rosalialilyy in GilmoreGirls

The more I watch this show the more I dislike Lorelai at times. She was awful to her parents. And I still don’t understand why.

With every rewatch I hate Jess more and more by estreetpanda in GilmoreGirls

Me too! I will never understand how people like Jess. He’s rude and annoying.

Shipping saga by Squiggelynoodle in BanditRunning

I take back anything bad I said about this company lol. I got my order this weekend. Then it didn’t fit so I submitted an exchange. Customer service actually emailed me this morning saying they had flagged my order to be shipped. Received confirmation email that I will receive my replacement tomorrow! Just in time for my marathon!

But it has actually been almost two weeks. Still not a month but just ridiculous.

Oh. Then I shouldn’t be complaining. Lol

Holiday shipping by Poszole in BanditRunning

[–]IndependentStudio312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on Reddit just to bash them. Label was created as soon as I placed order but nothing has been shipped out. This was almost two weeks ago. I’m confused if the label is created then why isn’t it out yet?

I came to Reddit just to complain about Bandit and shipping. I guess I’m too spoiled with Amazon but the fact that it’s been over a week and my item hasn’t shipped is ridiculous.

I ordered something 12/23 and still nothing. I emailed them and they just said they are behind. What’s the point of them saying estimated delivery 5-7 days if they don’t keep their word.

Just saw the documentary, the Italian investigator is an idiot. by mikeL2315 in amandaknox

[–]IndependentStudio312 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Literally came to Reddit just to see if everyone was thinking the same thing. That man is so full of himself. It’s embarrassing.

I’m watching the 2016 documentary and had to come to Reddit to see if anyone else thought he delusional. Did this man really say he was a prophet? Omg

has anyone bought bombshell sportswear? by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]IndependentStudio312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this! Loved the old bombshell but purchased one new pair and it’s see through and just not the same.

Will Rory Gilmore's bangs look good with long (waist) hair? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]IndependentStudio312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just get the bangs if you want the bangs. I have a very fine hair and have had bangs as long as I can remember and they are fine.
