Angelina Jolie's sleep ban

Angelina Jolie's children are banned from waking her up in the morning.
Brad Pitt gets up early every morning with their four kids - adopted children Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, two, and 20-month-old biological daughter Shiloh - and gives them breakfast while Angelina has a lie-in.
An insider told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Sometimes the kids will go in and wake her, but they're not supposed to. Sometimes she'll get up earlier to take the kids to school, but Brad's usually the one who gets them out the door."
Brad, 44, has been hailed as a "super-dad" doing all the hands on work while Angelina, 32, has been busy filming new movies 'Wanted' and 'The Changeling' on location.
The source added: "Brad gets up really early with the children. He changes diapers and gets Zahara and Shiloh fed and dressed for the day. He takes this responsibility very seriously.
"While Angie was busy filming Brad was superdad. He got into the routine of getting up with all the kids, getting the Corn Flakes for breakfast and getting them prepped for school. When Brad dresses the kids, he lets them pick whatever they want to wear, even if it's weird or mismatched."
Brad has regularly spoken of his happiness at becoming a father and spending time with his children.
The 'Ocean's Thirteen' star said last year: "We all sing and dance to 'Wheels on the Bus' together. We hope they're not soaking up our moves because they'd be seriously lacking in their future. We'll get them some proper training. But yeah, there's a lot of dancing around the house, a lot of music time."

angie is taking advantage of Brad. He sounds like he's doing a fine job with the kids, but also needs to be in the spotlite and making great movies again. Angie is looking tired, worn out and she needs a makeover. she just wanted the kids to gain exposure for the different side of her instead of the wild women she really is inside. Brad likes the mixture of the wild and nice girl that's what turns him on, and maybe turns them both on. Angie needs to take more responsiblity and quit making Brad do all the work with the kids. She is using him for her own gain. She obviously bit off more than she could chew. But hey...on the other side, every one's relationship works for them differently!
What century are the two you living in!
Angelina is a working mom and Brad is a working dad that has decided to take a break from his movie career. The only difference between them and the rest of us working moms and dads is that they have the luxury of picking time off whenever they want and we on the other hand have to schedule with our employers our time off. Angelina has been working very hard for the past year or so, Brad has taken time off and DECIDED FOR HIMSELF to tend the kids. The time will come when Angelina will be at home and Brad will be working. It's their family and it works for them. Lay off the stupid accusations and innuendos - YOU DON'T LIVE WITH THEM.
You have no right to critize their family arrangement!
I disagree. When she's at home, he shouldn't be the slave, and children have woken their parents for centuries. They need to share equally the raising of their children. Sounds like she's spoiled rotten and getting away with it. If she was up late the night before, okay. But, on a daily basis as the story states? Not a chance in my household. I would never expect him to treat me as queen on a daily basis, and I would never forbid my children access to me. Unless, of course, I had been working late and hadn't gotten by 8 hours yet. Then I would just kiss them and tell them I'll be up in a few hours, go play with daddy.
Brad. I think needs a solo vacation.
And people are going to believe every little sentence that is printed - get a life!!!!!!!!
I'm a mommy who works full time. My husband also works full time. I can tell you, I do the bulk of the house/ baby work. It's so easy for men to forget to fill the humidifier in the baby's room with water & empty the diaper pail and so on...it's a lot more then just feeding and changing diapers. Sometimes I get over-loaded with all the work- I'm mentally played out from my job- and by the time I go to bed, I'm physically played out. I think it's great that Brad is a stand-up dad. I can't say if one person is being forced to do all the work or not, I don't live in their house, but I'll def give both of them a fair shake because I understand this responsibility. Kudos to them both!
Come on people stop believeing gossip! You really believe that Angelina doesn't get up with her children? Even if she is working she probably has to be on the set early which means she has to get up early anyway and no one sleeps in with 4 children. I don't understand the media's fascination with portraying Angelina as the 'bad guy' while Brad remains untouched. When Brad was working who do they think got up early with the kids? Why didn't we hear the same thing when Brad was working on 'Burn After Reading' and Angelina was the one dropping off and picking up the kids from school? Why weren't there any articles titled 'Brad Sleeps In While Angie Slaves? They are equal parents; one Family, the only swaying factor is Angelina has to carry the babies for 40 weeks. When Brad adds that to his Repertoire let me know.
I see the another Brittney in the making...she wanted these kids, afterall who took care of them when Brad was never in the pic???
speaking of britney.
i see they acclaimed her leagley nuts.
What does leagley mean?
got me but thats what was on the news. but they did say insane instead of nuts. same thing
her and brad could always BBQ the kids ..m-m-m-m-m
I dont think Angie is another Britney in the making! No offence to Brit but she had her children at the completely wrong time in her life. But with Angie she is responsible and has the support she needs. Just because she is the mother of the children doesn't mean that she has to do everything. Any how, we don't know what goes on in their home so we shouldn't be able to judge as to whether Brad does everything in the house with the kids. Just because he takes them to school doesn't mean he does everything. Although i have got to say that he is an amazing dad and Angie is an amazing mum!! Give her a break for God's sake!
Angelina is NOT taking advantage of Brad at all when it comes to their children. This is something Brad loves to do. You don't see him going around and complaining. Angelina does spend time with her kids when she's not busy. She knows how to juggle everything (i.e. work and family time). They do have to work too ya know. With all the homes they have and all those expenses, yes they can afford all that, but they still need to work in order to keep paying for it all. Plus they have many children and more on the way. Jen was too busy wanting to further her career and didn't want children, while Brad wanted to have children. Jen and Brad were already having problems in their marriage way before Angie got into the pic here. People need to be aware of that. Brad has never been happier in his life. He loves Angelina just as she loves him and their family. They deserve all the happiness in the world. Not only are they great actors, but they are humanitarians, unlike Jen. Most celebs are too busy wasting their millions on themselves. Angie and Brad want to make a difference, and they are doing it, not just 'talking' about it. Big difference. That's something that needs to be recognized and respected. So when Brad has to work, Angie takes over. Just like now, when Angie needs to work, Brad takes over. They work together and do everything together. I'm really happy for them.
