Lindsay Lohan Becomes a Mom · Let's Ask the Mamas!

• 0:00
  We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, what do you think
• 0:03
  about Lindsay Lohan becoming a mom? Well, let's ask our American mama's.
• 0:08
  Mama Mama, and joining is now our American mama is Terry Netiville and Kimberly
• 0:23
  Burlison. Man. I can think back, there were times when I was
• 0:29
  like, oh, it's such a good thing. Lindsay Lohan's not a mom.
• 0:32
  So she just gave an interview with the last couple of weeks talking about
• 0:34
  how she is now a mom for the first time and how she is so
• 0:38
  grateful and is it is She said, it's the most powerful love she could
• 0:43
  ever have known. You guys have both been first time moms at a point,
• 0:48
  what do y'all think about Lindsay Lohan's trip into being a mother. I'm
• 0:53
  so happy for her. I am too. I'm so happy for her because,
• 0:56
  honestly, y'all, she did not have a good mother. She had
• 0:59
  a stay age mother, she had a mamager. So you can go back
• 1:03
  into the nineties and remember how her mom was going to these parties with her
• 1:07
  and they were drinking and doing things they shouldn't do, and you know she
• 1:11
  was twelve and thirteen smoking and drinking and partying, and so she didn't have
• 1:15
  a role model. This happens a lot of times to young girls who have
• 1:18
  moms that were not equipped. Maybe it's because they didn't have moms. You
• 1:22
  know. I don't know the cycle of it, but I do know that
• 1:26
  whenever I hear her speak now. In fact, recently somebody brought back her
• 1:30
  history. They were poking fun at her. It was one of the Saturday
• 1:34
  Night Live people or some comedian was poking fun. It hurt her so greatly
• 1:38
  because she doesn't want her child to know. I think it's a daughter,
• 1:41
  isn't it. I'm not sure, but anyway, she doesn't want her child
• 1:44
  to know that. She's so embarrassed for the decisions she made as a child,
• 1:49
  and I want her to forgive herself because I think now when I hear
• 1:53
  her talk about motherhood, I think about everything she went through. Maybe that
• 1:59
  part of the purpose of that was so that she could be the kind of
• 2:01
  mom that she didn't have. So her child will grow up the way that
• 2:05
  she wished that she had been brought up. She'll be the mother she never
• 2:07
  had. My heart goes out to her. It really really does. I
• 2:10
  feel like in a lot of ways. You know, my daughter in law
• 2:14
  is well known. She was a public figure on the Netflix show Cheer Morgan,
• 2:17
  and people know her story and it's a very sad childhood that she had
• 2:22
  and a mom that was very much worse than Lindsay Lohan's mom, complete abandonment.
• 2:28
  And one thing that I know about Morgan is that when she does become
• 2:31
  a mother, she's going to savor every probably more so than any other mother,
• 2:37
  just because she knows what the difference is. She knows what it's like
• 2:40
  to be without. And I know Wendy, your wife, Yes, had
• 2:44
  something very similar. So for Wendy, she had an excellent mom. Oh,
• 2:47
  she had a horrible bed. Okay, her mom did die when we
• 2:51
  were in high school. She had a bad dad and then a bad stepdad.
• 2:54
  And so for her, it was trying to figure out what role I
• 2:59
  was supposed to be playing, Okay, because she the closest example she'd ever
• 3:02
  had of that was my dad. And my dad was at the hospital a
• 3:07
  lot, and we worked all the time, and she saw that, but
• 3:08
  she didn't see how he, ever was with a newborn child and so and
• 3:14
  actually for Wendy after becoming a mom, there was actually some healing that happened
• 3:19
  after that because she started to realize what a dad was supposed to be.
• 3:23
  Yeah, and I think there's a lot of healing that probably happening with Lindsay.
• 3:29
  That's what I was, That's what I've seen because I've never thought of
• 3:31
  Lindsay Lohan as being a centered person. Recently when I've seen interviews o her,
• 3:37
  and again, this is you know, I'm not in the situation.
• 3:39
  I'm just looking from the outside end, right from the way outside in.
• 3:43
  I see more of a centeredness now in her than I had ever seen before.
• 3:46
  It is it is truly one of the greatest gifts from God. I
• 3:51
  see this with some friends that we've had in the past. You know,
• 3:53
  you have friends who are wild and they do crazy things. Some of them
• 3:58
  didn't even want to be a mom. The idea of it, something happens,
• 4:01
  something happens to a woman when she has that baby. And when you
• 4:04
  see this, this transformation is a beautiful thing. It is probably the single
• 4:10
  greatest gift that God has given women. I agree that we can carry,
• 4:13
  we can you know, create this being with the help of our husband.
• 4:16
  Inside of our bodies indescribable love. And it's the very first time that as
• 4:21
  a child a grown up and you know how much your parents loved you.
• 4:27
  That's your first moment of really knowing how much they love you because of how
• 4:30
  you feel about your child. It's interesting that you mentioned that you know something
• 4:35
  changes inside yours as a mom. This is the second best piece of advice
• 4:41
  I give two couples as are getting married. Everybody says, you know,
• 4:45
  as soon as you get married, everything changes. Oh, soon as you
• 4:46
  get married, everything changes, And I said, no, nothing changed.
• 4:50
  We got married absolutely nothing. Like a week later, we look at each
• 4:54
  other, We're just sitting there, going, do you feel any I don't
• 4:57
  feeling of it. Yeah. The moment my son was born, everything changed.
• 5:02
  Everything changed. The story was, you know, people were like,
• 5:05
  hey, you're going to cut the umbilical cord. You're dad, You're going
• 5:08
  to cut ublical crud. I'm like, I'm not going to cut the umbilical
• 5:10
  cord. We have doctors. I am paying doctors. They went to school,
• 5:14
  they know how to do it. I'm going to get my money's worth.
• 5:16
  If I'm supposed to be the one doing the surgery. Why am I
• 5:18
  paying for the doctors. I don't need that. Bailey's born doctor says,
• 5:21
  you want to cut the umbilical cord. I go, yes, I do
• 5:25
  exactly cut it right then, and it just it was it's something very propa
• 5:29
  no, and I don't mean to take a turn here, but this is
• 5:31
  why I get so frustrated when trans women men who are I mean trans women
• 5:38
  who are biologically born male right, and they say that they they know what
• 5:42
  it's like to be a woman, they should have every right as a woman.
• 5:45
  This is when I really don't get it. You do not understand what
• 5:48
  it is to be a woman because you're not when you'll never be when you
• 5:50
  don't have the same instincts, you don't have the same you know, you
• 5:54
  don't have the same chromosomes. So it just it's one of those other lines.
• 5:58
  I'm like, you don't know what it's like and you can't. There's
• 6:00
  no way, And that's okay. Yes, if you like to ask our
