Joel Madden has been fronting Good Charlotte — the band he formed with his twin brother Benji — for all of his adult life.

However, after becoming a father to daughter Harlow Winter Kate, 2½, and son Sparrow James Midnight, 14 months, with Nicole Richie, the rocker admits that he sometimes questions whether or not it’s all worth it.

That Angelina Jolie is one busy working mom cannot be denied. But what about making dinner for her family of six kids and partner Brad Pitt?
