“You can only instill so much in your children, and then you just have to pray that they do the right thing. I have faith in my children. I know that no child is perfect, and they're going to make mistakes. I just hope they're not big ones.” Dina Lohan

Former Wall Street analyst Dina Lohan becomes well known for becoming the mother and manager of actress/pop singer Lindsay Lohan, and Lindsay's younger sister Ali Lohan, with whom Dina co-starred in the E! reality series “Living Lohan” (2008). The media frequently refer to Dina as a 'Momager.' In May 2008, she was voted by Mingling Mom as one of Long Island's Top 20 Moms.  

Dina has created controversy over her decision to make her daughter Ali the star of a reality television as well as for her regard to her daughter Lindsay's recovery from drug and alcohol abuse. She has also been accused of benefiting on Lindsay's popularity and personal battles in order to establish her own career. Dina has received harsh criticism for bringing cameramen from the entertainment newsmagazine series to film her visiting Lindsay in drug rehabilitation.

In late 2007, Dina blamed Jodie Foster for criticizing her parenting skills. She said, “It really saddens me that a mom would comment on another mom without even meeting me. Ironically, Lindsay's talent was compared to Jodie Foster's as a little girl! All we want as parents is to cultivate our children's dreams, no matter what field they choose. She has no idea who we are or what we have dealt with! If she has a question to ask me, don't ridicule me publicly! She should know how the press twists the truth. Don't judge without the facts!”
