according to konbini's benjamin holt, emily adheres to the "bad mom" literary trope, describing her as an example of "a domineering matriarch with a sharp tongue and ruthless wit." the "new york post" journalist david k. li credits emily's "bickering" relationship with lorelai with reminding viewers what a typical mother-daughter relationship looks like, in stark contrast to lorelai's best friend relationship with rory. although the characters occasionally share "tender moments", their relationship "has never been ideal" in comparison to the strong bond between lorelai and rory. emily often bestows "condescending lines and disapproving glares" upon lorelai, who has at times compared her mother to politicians adolf hitler and joseph stalin. emily strongly believes that lorelai's life would be better if she would only listened to her, but the two characters view lorelai's life "in completely different terms." "the week"'s lili loofbourow observed that the character can be "callous and even cruel" at times, even when she insists she is acting out of lorelai's best interest. despite disagreeing with most of lorelai's decisions, the character is secretly proud of her daughter's accomplishments and remains "there [for lorelai] when it mattered", such as caring for her when she injures her back and growing emotional upon watching lorelai graduate from college. diana bruk, writing for "country living", agreed that, despite being "suffocating and over-involved" at times, emily "ferociously loves her daughter", for whom she would do anything. bruk insists "everything emily does in the show is because ... she wants the best possible" for lorelai. she is visibly heartbroken upon seeing the shed lorelai chose to raise rory in over her own home for the first time, exclaiming "you hated us that much!" the character often uses guilt as a means of convincing lorelai to do her bidding. emily's relationship with lorelai mirrors her relationship with her mother-in-law trix, who "driv[es] emily crazy." however, emily is very protective of her family, as shown when she defends lorelai from francine hayden, the mother of lorelai's childhood boyfriend christopher, and rory from shira huntzberger, the mother of her boyfriend logan upon learning that her granddaughter had been disrespected by his family, proving how much she cares for her. emily also defends lorelai every occasion that christopher's father strobe speaks poorly of her. her decisions to leave the dar and move to nantucket are reminiscent of lorelai's rebellious nature. when emily finally moves to nantucket, she accepts the fact that lorelai will not be as prominent a feature in her new life. however, because she still wants to spend time with lorelai, she offers her money to expand her inn in exchange that she visit her for two weeks during summer and one week over christmas.
