It's actually quite typical for the child of someone who has issues with their own parents, to get on well with those grandparents. Doesn't mean Rory would choose their lifestyle or even bridge it. It simply means she can bridge that history of nonacceptance and be closer to Emily and Richard than Lorelai was ever allowed to be.
In their eyes, Rory was the golden child when she walked through the door for that first FND in the Pilot. E&R neither knew nor apparently cared that Rory shared many of the same traits they'd rejected in their own daughter.
Interesting how Rory's reaction to actually living with them was the same as Lorelai's. Yet, E&R only cared about her 'not leaving a note' when she left. She rejected their lifestyle the same as Lorelai had done - and they built an Astronomy Building in her name. Ironic. __________________
