Lindsay Lohan, now a mother to her two-year-old son Luai with husband Bader Shammas, is already experiencing the funny and tender aspects of parenting that come with raising a spirited toddler. The actress recently shared a charming moment where her young son was playfully mimicking her, showing early signs of his growing independence and personality.
Early Signs of Toddler Mischief in Lindsay’s Parenting Journey
Lindsay Lohan, known for her roles in films like Mean Girls and The Parent Trap, is embracing motherhood with a mix of humor and patience. Despite Luai’s young age, Lindsay revealed she has already noticed him imitating her words. She described a recent incident where she was about to tell him, “Don’t do that,” only to have him preemptively say, “Don’t do that, Luai,” in her exact tone, which led her to realize he was playfully mocking her.
“I have this thing, where I’m like, ‘Luai, don’t do that.’ And this morning before I was going to say it, he’s like, ‘Don’t do that, Luai,’ and looked at me and I was like, ‘Oh my god, he’s mocking me.'” —Lindsay Lohan
These little moments reflect the new challenges and joys Lindsay faces, as the star adapts to the unpredictable and often amusing world of parenting.
How Lindsay’s Life and Priorities Have Shifted Since Motherhood
Lindsay’s transformation into motherhood has not gone unnoticed by longtime friends, including actress Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis highlighted the changes Lindsay has undergone since becoming a mother and how her priorities have adjusted accordingly. While Lindsay may have once focused primarily on her acting career and personal ambitions, her son has now become the center of her world.
“Her main priority is her little boy. This is a new mom and all of the complications of a new mom. And so the priorities have changed, but the friendship hasn’t.” —Jamie Lee Curtis
Lindsay herself has acknowledged this shift, aiming to balance her responsibilities as a parent with her personal goals. She expressed a desire to set a positive example for her son while still pursuing work that inspires her personally.
“I want to do things that my son can see, but I also want to do things that inspire me.” —Lindsay Lohan
She admits that motherhood is a continuous learning experience, navigating the new role day by day with a fresh outlook on life.
“It’s a learning process—I’m having a different go at it, figuring out what I want to do and how I want to do it.” —Lindsay Lohan
