PICTURE PERFECT PARENTS?

family2.bmp

It’s perfectly understandable that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie would have a team of nannies, but a team for each of their self-raised or acquired offspring is, really, a bit ridiculous.

But it gets worse — each set of nannies goes into a slough of depression every time a new baby is added to the existing menagerie, as it inevitably means a new, ahem, pit crew of hired help will shortly follow while the couple continue their on-going production: ‘Carry On Adopting.’

Clearly wanting to paint a good picture to the gawking media, the multiple teams of nappy changers and puke moppers are kept a close secret, as the Jolie-Pitt publicity machine goes into overdrive, making such calming announcements as: “Ooh, it’s tough, but Brad’s parents are really helping us out this month by looking after the older ones!”

Uh huh….

    I don’t like them that much but I am not sure I believe they have a nanny for each child. Do they have help? Hell yah.

    why would they keep having help a secret? that’s just dumb.

    I know plenty of families that do have a nanny for each child, and all i think is, “why the hell did you have kids”?

    i’m not sure i believe this story..seems like quite a stretch. i see pictures everyday of brad dropping off and picking up the kids (all of them..except shiloh) from school.

    I don’t know if I believe the story- and so what if it’s true.
    “But it gets worse — each set of nannies goes into a slough of depression every time a new baby is added to the existing menagerie” THEN QUIT! please they’re getting paid a bucket load of money I am sure. I’ll do it

    God, I can’t imagine taking care of 4 children on my own. 2 is enough as it is. No wonder they have nannies.

    God, Arasto, why are you such a bitch about them? How many children have you rescued from an orphanage?

    1st - y’all can just step off the Arasto bashing. If you don’t like the blog there are infinite numbers of others you can patronize.

    2nd-I don’t think the fact they have nannies is a secret its the fact they have a TEAM of help for each child, thats a little over the top. And, just because they go to school everyday doesn’t meant they don’t have Nannies, there are 24 hours in a day and they spend less than a third of that in school.

    “each set of nannies goes into a slough of depression” that sounds stupid, i don’t believe that. why are they nannies and why don’t they just quit?
    i know a couple who has 2 kids and a nanny for each kid. the kids go to school and the wife doesn’t work. must be nice!
    so i believe B & A has a nanny for each kid but not sure about a slew of nannies for each kid, but it’s possible. i’m sure they have cooks and maids, etc.

    I said it and I’ll say it again. I’ll babysit- especially Shiloh, I just need room and board and ice cream money hahaha. nannies go in to depression my butt!

    I’d be depressed to just having to look at Angie every day- NOT good for the self-esteem.

    I’d also get fired for raping Brad…..lol

    Do you think they have a wet nurse on staff? I really wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

    doesn’t even make sense - goofy story here plus I’ve read articles on them where the nannies were pictured and named - the source must be desperate to find a Ange/brad story of the day
