That she will play with, and tend to, the other children but leaves Shiloh (?) with Brad, that she doesn't even want to pick her up. If it is true, it is very sad. On a seperate note, It must be hard and stressful to be a celebrity mom. I can't even imagine the pressures.

Angelina Jolie makes me SO mad for SO many different reasons. 1) She already has 4 nannies. Why can't they take care of the children. 2) The daycare is subsidized. She just bought a $100 million dollar yacht. Why does she need to have subsidized daycare. 3) She has them in fulltime spots and they go 2 hours a day. Any mom that has a kid in daycare knows how frustrating it is to be to be put on a waiting list. We were on a waiting list when I was 3-4 months pregnant for our kid to start when he was 3 months old. Most of the daycares in our area have waiting lists for 6 week-6 month olds of about 1 year. Guess you are supposed to get on the waiting list before you get pregnant. 4)She only pays $931 a month for 4 kids in daycare at fulltime rates!?!?!? To put our son (7 months old) in daycare, we pay a whopping $200 per week (at least $800 per month) FOR ONE FREAKIN KID.She has four kids ages 5, 3, 2 and 11 months. At the rates that our daycare charges, we would pay $641 per week (at least $2564 per month) 5) (Most Importantly)She says that she is doing right by those kids by adopting them and affording them all of the luxuries of her lifestyle but how can she call herself a mom (WM or SAHM)? Does she change diapers, make bottles, kiss booboos, any of the things that we as mothers have to do? Sorry for ranting but once I got started I couldn't control myself and I don't have a blog to vent about it on. :) Amanda Ugh! Angelina Jolie makes me SO mad for SO many different reasons.
