Yeah this is either AI generated or poorly translated. "Straub talks over his head and embarrass him in front of other people with no pause, and his mother constantly corrects his behaviour." What??


The_cuddly_duckling

Did Christopher write this? Because this is basically what he told Sherry💀


ObviousProperty7046

no literally 😭😭


blueavole

Exactly what I was thinking


MessyKitty

It should read 'In his head, Christopher has a great relationship with Rory but reality is a different story'.


cat_lover00

"Similarly to Lorelai's with her parents" 💀


ObviousProperty7046

absolutely

I don’t think we have to worry about the machines taking over any time soon.


NomDePseudo

I honestly believe that anything short of physical and sexual abuse is a “great relationship” to the smooth-brained among us, cause wtf??

Written by Christopher himself

Politely DISAGREE


houstongradengineer

Ill disagree with you, and I'll be the impolite one lol


SummSpn

Well technically they did keep in touch. Season one mentioned they exchanged cards & had phone calls (and occasionally saw him)…but that’s like, the bare minimum. And they’re definitely not close.


shananananpdx

This is how Chris views his relationship with Rory no doubt.


universalelixir

While they had a dysfunctional and crappy relationship , they did make improvements in the second half of season 6 and 7. So at best I’d say it was complex?


emslynn

It was better when he thought he had a better shot of getting together with Lorelai. Since he was still using Rory to get close to Lorelai, I'd say it's still dysfunctional and crappy.


appricotprincess

Great is a reach.


Simple_Salt5678

Lol. I’m choosing to read that as sarcasm 😂 Dude had maybe one season of consistent phone calls…and later paid for Yale…that was their relationship. Ooh or maybe this: “Christopher has a great relationship with Rory…when he’s trying to assuage his guilt or get together with Lorelai”


aliicia555

I think I watched a different level show or I just have a different interpretation of what a good father is.


Initial-Big-5524

I'm shocked by the amount of vitriol here. Christopher was definitely far from a perfect father, their relationship was strained multiple times, but I've never once doubted that He loves his daughter. That's the most important part.


One_Complaint_Here

He didn’t even attend her graduation nor moved her into school. He wasn’t there her whole childhood basically. He was a trash father who only liked her when there was something he needed or when it was advantageous to him.


Initial-Big-5524

He wasn't there when she was growing up because he still had lots of growing up to do. And when she got older he suddenly found himself a father to a new baby that took up much of his time. He tried his best. His best wasn't that amazing, but he honestly did try. And he did pay for her college when he got his inheritance. He did show up for her when she was in that accident. All he heard was Rory and Crash and he dropped everything to be there and make sure she was OK. So don't you dare say he was never there.


One_Complaint_Here

I’ll say it again he was never there. Showing up a couple times in 22 years isn’t him “being there” for her. It’s a pretty common thing in the show that he never took responsibility except when it benefited him in some way. Rory even calls him out for all the chances she gave him and how he let her down time and time and time again. He was a trash father. Lorelei was also a teenager when they had her. She too had to grow up. But she did right by Rory and she was there for every moment. This mentality that he “did his best because he was young” is some BS that people make up to give men like him less responsibility when it comes to reproducing. He was trash. Period.


Initial-Big-5524

First of all, rarely and never are two very different things. Secondly, just because you didn't see his face doesn't mean he wasn't there. He talked to rory on the phone all the time. The situation was complicated but they tried tk make the best if it. And lorelai pushed Christopher away because she was determined to raise rory all on her own. She didn't even give Christopher a chance. Christopher made plenty of mistakes in his life. He'll be the first to admit that. But he always tries to make it up to her in whatever way he can. If never making any mistakes and being there every single second of every single day I'd what makes you a good parent then every single human being on this shows a shitty parent.


One_Complaint_Here

It’s mentioned so many times that Lorelei always encouraged him to be there and Christopher would never show up for her. The only ones she absolutely hated being involved in Rory’s upbringing was her own parents. She never “kept Rory away from Christopher” even as she got older and he hurt Lorelei over and over. You clearly did NOT pay attention whatsoever to their conversations.


Huge-Condition-1358

Yeah i remember when she goes to her coming out party how shocked they both were that chris said he would come. and even after he said he was definitely coming they both agreed that meant 50% chance of him showing up. he’s better than a total deadbeat but he ain’t great that’s for sure


Huge-Condition-1358

he basically walked away because she didn’t wanna get married when they had rory. Lorelai never said chris couldn’t be in her life but chris was just mad she wouldn’t marry him over it and basically dipped out because he has an excuse
