quankanne Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Knox. Like the gold-laden fort in Kentucky. and I smile as I write that, Miss Angelina sure has a thing about Southern names! also am touched to see that her little girl is named after her grandmere (did I get that word right, Lizzie?) ... what a lovely tribute to Marcheline!

Oops.. Knox.. (Lenox ) I knew there was on 'ox'.. she likes the 'ox' her other boy is Maddox... (I think)... yes grand-mère is right.. I prefer grand-maman... yes a nice tribute to her mother who she was very close with. Link to post Share on other sites

Eric Knox and Vivian Wood were coincidently the names of the villains in the Charlie's Angels Movie. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I read somewhere that she was thinking of adopting another boy. I hope these kids have good nannies that will care for them and nurture them. I doubt Angie will be able to give each child the one-on-one care and emotional support that they need. I can't help but to wonder if all of this breeding and adopting comes from her mental troubles. Link to post Share on other sites

It probably does come from her mental troubles. The good news for them, is that they are seriously rich! They'll have plenty of nannies, cooks, educaters and so on for the kids. They couldn't keep working with all these children if they didn't have several other people looking after the kids also. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Lizzie60 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Then you're saying that parents who have more than 5-6 kids can't take care of them? Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I don't know ... some of the interviews I've read with her and the footage I've seen on TV, she seems genuinely happy to be a mama – like she's become more grounded since having her babies. Though I imagine a lot of that has to do with a partner who is as committed to parenthood as she is. Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly think that they are amazing parents (of course from what we see and read, no one knows them personally.. I think)... But I rather see Angelina with 12 kids than Britney with 2..

quankanne Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 amen to that, sister. Plus i think Angie's the kind of person who's just born to being a mom Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Then you're saying that parents who have more than 5-6 kids can't take care of them? Nah. A majority of parents with that many kids aren't jetting off to this country or the next, or staying at location for making movies for months at a time, etc. Brad and Angie aren't regular parents by a long shot. With their publicity and work and philanthropy schedules there is no way that they can provide one on one every day 24/7 care for their children like 'regular' people can. People like Brad and Angie can have as many children as they want and just hire full time nannies to take care of the day to day stuff while they spend a few days a week with their kids. You see publicity shots of Brad and Angie with the kids, but I can tell you this: the full time nannies are the ones taking care of the majority of the parenting. Link to post Share on other sites

I work with a woman who had her first child at age 41. You'd figure she would want to make the most of being with her child, but ended up going back to work after two weeks because she didn't like being away and she brought her mother in from across the state to care for the baby, even though she and her husband could have done it themselves, just like millions of other new parents. the Jolie-Pitts probably do have supplemental help in raising their children, and I imagine they put a lot of thought into picking their nannies so that it's a team effort – I really don't think they expect to just dump their children off on a caretaker just because they don't want to give up their lifestyle even though they were desperate for a kid.

angie2443 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Then you're saying that parents who have more than 5-6 kids can't take care of them? Not if they have the kind of life that these two have. Me and my husband have 3 now and 1 on the way. It takes a lot of time and energy to take care of them. There is no way that we could have all the activity going on that Bran and angelina do without nannies, servants, cooks ect. Then again, they're rich. If they were'nt, they couldn't do it in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites

It will be interesting to see how these kids turn out. If the nannies are great, maybe they'll turn out better than if Bran and Angie watched them full time. Link to post Share on other sites
