What's going on with the Jolie-Pitts?

Categories: Celeb parenting

Brad Pitt and Angelina JolieIt 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?

If you're the stay-at-home parent, do you ever resent your partner's life outside the house?
