Amber, Angelina’s secret is a team of nannies. Shhhh!

Seriously, I don’t mean this to sound catty, it’s just a fact. The more help we moms get, the better. That’s why they say it takes a village to raise a child. In our culture, we feel like we’re supposed to do everything ourselves and we just can’t — not without feeling overwhelmed, and when you’re tired and harried, it shows.

Good for Angelina that she has help — she needs it! We all do. But that’s her secret to looking great.

NLT and Nicole- Good point! Also, I have seen uncropped photos of the J-Ps out and about, and I have rarely, if ever, seen ANY nannies in them. I have seen bodyguards in most of them, but not nannies.

Angie has also said that they have THREE nannies (although that was before the twins were born, so who knows, they may have a few more now), not one for each child.

As for them having a messy house…While I certainly don’t believe the tabloids, I also don’t believe their house is neat as a pin. I mean, think about it. If YOU had six kids, all under the age of 8, would YOUR house be squeaky clean all the time? I doubt it!

Finally, about the kids being “disheveld”…If you look at the full set of pictures, you can clearly see in some of them that Z’s hair is actually in a little ponytail.

As for Pax and Shiloh…Shiloh may very well be at that stage where she HATES having her hair styled (Brad mentioned that Z was the same way when she was Shi’s age). And Pax, well…How many boys Pax’s age do you know that actually LIKE having their hair brushed?

I’m done with this place

Jasmine, where do you get your info? Tabloids? Considering that almost every single one of them have articles online right now saying Angelina gave birth 4 and 5 months ago, you really shouldn’t believe everything you read.

Angelina isn’t a saint or a perfect mom, nobody is. But I sincerely hope you don’t always take what you read in tabloids as the truth, because even when they print positive stories, most of it is made up.

Yes, Jasmine. Especially when, if you look at other pics from this same set, there are many pics of Shiloh laughing, and of Angie laughing with her. I have seen many photos of Shiloh and the other kids laughing. So, that statement, while it is your right to make, is not accurate.

CelebBabyLover, here is the picture of Pax and the dog. He sure looks like an unhappy kid, doesn’t he?

Pax looks an awful lot like Brad in this picture. The facial expression and body language:

And a few more pictures of the unkempt, unhappy Jolie-Pitt children :

Jasmine, you are reading too many tabloids.

I made the comment about the clothes because it was very noticeable to me. The kids, especially Shiloh, never look happy to me. I agree that Suri is over-dressed in many of the photos I’ve seen. However, other kids like Violet, Roman, Valentina, Nahla, etc. are dressed comfortably and cute. Violet, since there are always so many photos of her, just excudes with happiness and she always look good and very well cared for.

I dont think Angelina should get the Mother of the Year Award for taking her “own” kids out for cheetos. I’m sure she had an entourage of nannies with her that were not captured in the photograph. I think I read that they have nannies for each of these kids. I also read that they have a very messy house. Judging from the photos, I would tend to believe it.

You know what I like to see? Celebrity kids that look just like my kids. Who look like they’ve had a good time, who look like they might have been horsing around in the garden, who look like they’ve been doing the ordinary things that everyone else’s children do. I really can’t stand the need to impress on children a certain standard of how they should look whilst they’re out in public. Whether it’s criticism of clothes, or hair or whatever, it just seems a little shallow to me. They’ve still got high school and their teens to go through. There will be plenty of time for them to worry about the way they look to other people and at the ages of 5 (almost!), 3 and 2, now is most certainly not the time.

Besides, I’m sure Zahara and Pax will look back on these photos in 20 years time and be thankful that they both were bought up in a stable, seemingly very loving home rather than being left to languish in an orphanage. I rather think that what they were wearing at the time will be quite far down the spectrum of importance.
