What's going on with the Jolie-Pitts?
Filed under: Celeb Parents
It was bound to happen eventually. The rumor mill has consistently been putting out teasers that there's trouble in Jolie-Pitt paradise. Unnamed sources, always reliable at being anonymous, at least, say that Angelina is ticked that Brad's spending so much time away from home, while she's stuck with six kids to tend to. There are even reports that she's threatened to leave him if he doesn't shape up.While I don't put much stock into what unnamed sources have to say, I think the timing is interesting. Life with four kids seemed to keep the couple busy enough, but now there are twin newborns in the house, which has to drastically add to both parents stress levels. While I'd never describe Angelina as "stuck" anywhere, considering her usual pace, having two nursing infants does limit her activities. For a world traveler like Angelina, I can see how that might make her antsy.
There were days during my new parenthood, when I couldn't find my way to the shower until dinnertime and my sole purpose on the planet seemed to be to nourish my newborn, when I felt insanely jealous that my husband got to go to work every day. I wonder if Angelina sees Brad heading off to promote movies and attend premieres and feels like life is moving on without her, or if it's all just rumor and she's settling into life as a -- for the moment -- stay-at-home mom to her growing family. What do you think?

Rob O. said...Oh come on now, Angie isn't tending to those kids either with or without Brad. They probably have a whole team of nannies & other caretakers who do all of the heavy lifting. The celebreparents likely just show up in time for bedtime reading or splashing in the gold-encrusted marble bathtub.

I don't feel bad for people that do though because it was their choice to do it and their choice to have a child or children (except in the cases where some people don't have a choice - we all know what they are). If you have a kid then you know you're going to have to make sacrifices. I know what people mean when they say that they haven't taken a shower in three days or don't go brush their teeth until noon. I have babysat 6 kids (very young children and babies) at my house and their house and I've even taken care of them at for days with very little help. Even with help I could barely go to the bathroom. The whole staying at home thing and wanting to go out is something that couples should talk about.

Each on their own has enough money to never have to work another minute if they didn't want to. People like me have to make decisions such as whether to pay the electric bill or the outstanding medical bill. People like them sometimes have to choose between staying home and taking care of the family or taking on that next sure-to-be-a-bockbuster-hit movie so "the public" doesn't forget who they are.

Alison said...If it were any woman BUT Angelina, I would say Yes, she probably is resenting her husband for traveling around, promoting his films, etc while she is at home with 6 kids....but being Angelina, she has "been there and done that" for many years and may secretly be truly enjoying every moment (well, OK maybe not every moment!) and not worried at all what we all think of her or her family. As it should be....

Karen said...It still never ceases to amaze me the "haters" who resent others having money. Unbelievable. There is so much class envy in this country.
People need to start taking responsibility for their OWN circumstances instead of resenting everyone else for being successful when they aren't. The opportunities are there for everyone.

Karen said...It is ridiculously sad. And it is creating an entire generation of people who feel entitled instead of feeling they have to earn their way in life.
Sickening actually.
