its SUMMER, he’s not meant to be in school at the moment anyway!
i think maddox is absolutely adorable! why is everyone making such a fuss over a little bit of colour? its not like his whole entire head of hair is blue, its a couple of streaks! its just like letting little girls play dress and trying their mother’s/older sister’s makeup on.

everyone needs to chill. kids is these are so molly-coddled and overprotected. and to the above poster, it is not HAIR DYE or HIGH HEELS that lead to childrens’ over-inflated sense of entitlement. its behaviour they mimick and have hammered into them from their parents, not letting them wear makeup or colouring their hair.

Largirl, that’s not what I said. I think that there’s a time and place for children having fun (another thing I take issue with, that everything these days must be “fun” or else it’s not worth the bother) but do I think that children should decide when and where? No, definately not. No, I don’t know how they discipline their children and don’t really care. Do you?

I was commenting more on the fact that this style of parenting (letting young children dye their hair, wear high heels, revealing clothing) has led to a generation that believes they deserve whatever they want, whenever they want without regard for the consequence and get rather difficult when they don’t receive it. By the way, I would think they would have to get rid of it before school starts as I doubt a french school or Lycee Francais would allow it, the french school system isn’t built for “fun”.

Luckily I’ve decided not to have children. There’s enough people on this earth without populating it with more, increasingly rude, environmentally damaging people.

Seriously…dying their hair means that they are lax parents or that the kids will be drinking cocktails in a few years? Hardly!! This kind of self-expression is absolutely fine. It’s not harmful to the kids (a – it’s not touching the scalp and b – who knows if it’s permanent) and certainly doesn’t harm anyone else. It’d be like letting your kid put on a temporary tattoo or wear a t-shirt that they picked out.

Gabriela and Terri, it sounds like you’re saying that just because a child wants something they automatically SHOULDN’T get it. We should never let kids do what they want? This is something that doesn’t hurt them or anyone else – why would you say no?? It’s not like they’re letting them play with guns or knives or run around unsupervised. It’s laughable that letting your kid dye their hair is “bad parenting” or equal to being laissez-faire. I think the LAST thing that Brad and Angie could be called are “hands-off” parents, considering nearly every picture we see them in they are doing something with the kids. You have no idea how they do or don’t discipline their kids behind closed doors, and to assume that because they let their child do this they are lax parents is ridiculous.

I would hate to be a child of yours…no fun.

Should Maddox be in school? Or is he being homeschooled?

What lucky kids to be able to travel the world. Brad looks like he has aged ten years since hooking up with Angelina. She is sucking the life out of him.

Agreed, Joanne/Terri/Gabriella. As for Angie refusing to endorse Obama, that’s about the only thing she’s ever done that didn’t make me want to barf. I admire that a celebrity wouldn’t let uber-liberal Hollywood tell her how to think, even if she is an otherwise kind of crappy person. Team Angelina for the first and probably only time ever!!!

Terri, I agree. Just because a child wants something, should they be allowed to have it? By allowing children to do what they want, when they want leads to the type of children we see in today’s society. Mini adults who behave how they want without consequences. It’s a type of freedom that mentally they aren’t prepared for. Laissez-faire parents.

The hair is fine, If it was dyed how it is seen in that picture then it’s not touching his scalp, it’s ok to have a few streaks or patches, I wouldn’t recommend the whole head though!

I am curious to see how their ever-growing family turns out in 20 years time… Maybe they’ll still be adopting?

Forget the hair! People should be more concerned about the extremely weird existence these kids are being subjected to.

i CANNOT believe that person said maddox wasnt good looking!! he’s a kid first off and i think he’s realy cute! i LOVE his hair!!! and i dont think there’s anything wrong with it. like someone said, it can always get cut off. its not a life changing decision that shouldnt be made at a young age like a tattoo or anything..

also i love brad and angelina!!
