No TV mom will ever be a better TV mom than Lorelai Gilmore. With her witty commentary, coffee addiction and spur of the moment decisions, she is the perfect mom.
1. She knows the perfect break up routine
If there's one thing Lorelai Gilmore knows how to handle it's breakups. Wallowing for a few days doesn't make you weak, it'll make you feel better in the long run.
2. Even in bad situations, she can make the best of it
Even at Friday night dinners with Richard and Emily, Lorelai was also able to entertain herself and Rory with witty comments that seemed to come from thin air.
3. She knows sleep is important
Nothing is important enough to wake up before 11 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Well, unless there are boatloads of coffee involved.
4. Food is the most important thing in life
Eating isn't just a necessity to the Gilmore girls, it's fun. Why not have pizza, chips, mozzarella sticks, ice cream and candy for dinner?
5. Cleaning isn't always necessary
Cleaning is not at the top of the priority list for Lorelai. She doesn't waste all her time making sure the house is spotless when she can watch The Golden Girls and shop instead; with maybe a little bit of eating thrown in there.
6. She is proud when boys fight over Rory
Lorelai is usually proud of Rory for some pretty unorthodox things from time to time. She may or may not have been extremely proud of Rory when Jess and Dean fought over her at a party and completely totaled a house. Well let's be real, she was totally proud.
7. She knows what to look for in a man
If there's one thing in life worth throwing your life away for it's for a boy with a motorcycle. Duh.
8. She really loves her kid
Nothing is more important to Lorelai than Rory. If there's one thing in the world that is the most important to her, it's her daughter.
Lorelai Gilmore is the definition of "mom goals" and will always be remembered for eating way too much, drinking too much coffee and being the cool mom.
