Summary
In honor of Mother's Day, Tara and Haley share their favorite mother/daughter Gilmore episodes while our listeners had more to say about the parenting on this show from our favorite fictional mothers. Was Emily Gilmore a good mom or just a good character? What's up with Lorelai's selective respect for Mrs. Kim's parenting tactics? And how much influence does Lorelai have over Rory's choices?
