From someone who has four children, large families are great. Yes there is chaos and it is hard to spend time with each individual child all the time, but there is a bond there. Is it any different for a child to accustom themselves to an adopted kid or a natural child? I think not. At least when they are adopted they can immediately play with them and bond. Sometimes children feel neglected with newborns because the focus is on the baby that they can not interact with on their level. I applaud them

I think Brad and Angelina can spend more quality time with their kids than other people because they don’t have to clean the house or do the laundry and cook dinner, and their kids don’t have to go to school.

i don’t think it’s weird that they have so many children and i don’t think that the kids aren’t getting enough love, but i DO think it’s weird that they rush to adopt or have a new child as soon as the last one has been “acquired” or whatever. it’s like she gets bored or something and wants a new person in the house. it’s just freaky!!!

It’s not like they will have sacrifice family time too put food on the table. My dad was one of twelve, poor family but plenty of love. They have the means. What are you doing, Kathleen, debho, and Nikki?

Bahh. Of course a family can have lots of kids. My Mom has 10 sibilings. Years and years ago is was very common to have lots of kids. Leave them alone, they all look happy.

There are some people who love large families and have all the love to go around.

I see it everyday from those who take care of foster children to parents who have at least 4 kids. Big families are not rare or uncommen…there are many in Hollywood.

Exception is the parents. I think Brad and Angie love children and they wanted a large family. Those children are happy and normal, children can’t fake happiness.

Come on, it’s not so weird to have that many children.. in the days before the pill it was pretty normal to have large families. 1 new baby a year would have been pretty much standard as well. Here in Ireland it is still common. Studies have been done showing that children in large families are actually generally more stable and balanced than children with fewer siblings.. there’s strength in numbers! Plus they always have someone there for them. In these days of 2 kids, 2 parent families it might look odd, but just go back 2 generations, or look abroad and you’ll see it’s not so unusual.

Ella, I couldn’t have said it any better.

They work to support their passion of helping kids and various charities instead of being spending it on material things. Don’t see the negative in that. How they are living their lives doesn’t hurt anyone, not even the kids.

I don’t know from where they will adopt, but I’d bet money that it will be a African girl. In an interview once, Angelina said that they adopted Pax because after they had Shiloh (who looked like Mommy and Daddy), they wanted Maddox to have someone in the house who looked like him. Zahara is the last one in the house without someone who “looks like her”…so that would be my guess. For what it’s worth. :)

These kids were orphans taken from terrible circumstances. I bet they would be a lot more understanding of bringing more kids in than other kids might be. Especially when they’re adopting more orphans.

Angelina and Brad don’t have to work unless they want to. Both of them could decide to be with their kids full time if they ever decided that was what their kids needed.

And all the money does help, having extra nannies isn’t necessarily bad, kids can always use more adults in their lives who love them. And they could afford all the space they need, and things like sports and music lessons for all their kids. That combined with no limits on how much of your time you can spend at home… doesn’t sound bad to me.

I don’t want to be one of those ‘haters’, (because I don’t ‘hate’ them) … but sorry – you just cannot look after the EMOTIONAL NEEDS of all those children! Yes – you can look after their practical needs (with nannies/help) feeding them etc … but I’m talking about the cuddle / bonding / ‘one on one’ conversation / play time with an individual child. Angelina reminds me of a friend of mine. When she is in hospital after having a baby – she’s already talking about the next baby (my friend has six). I think it’s a mental or attention seeking problem – there is little focus on just nurturing the one they have. Having (or getting) children becomes their ‘thing’. I think adopting is a very admirable thing to do, but I think this is verging on irresponsible. OK attack me now!!

They have the money and means, and they are helping children in need. I think it’s wonderful.

i appreciate that fact of what thier doing, trying to help other kids, buts i agree with debho, its like an obsession with her. i dont care how rich you are or how big your heart is. theres gotta be a limit somewhere. theres no way ay of those kids get equal time from thier parents. and they can keep tellin themselves that those kids are living a stable life & will be stable when they get older…but they wont.

I have heard she wants a baby that is from every continent, i have mixed feelings about them having so many kids. It is wonderful because they are giving these children a life most only dream of, but we only ever see them out with three at a time… Let’s just hope Brad and Angelina can stay together. How sad would that be if there family broke up.

This collecting of kids is like an illness with her. I feel it’s an obsession with her. You cannot possibly spend quality time with each child….I had 4 and know how difficult it is. They should stop and enjoy the kids they have.

Must everyone see the negative in everything they do? How horrible that they love eachother and their kids and want more. Awful, awful people.

They all seem happy to me. Good for them… and fooey on all you haters

Well they don’t have any kids from south or central america yet, so maybe there? I know Angelina says these kids are handling it very well, but I mean, they are all between the ages of like, 1 and 7 – how can she tell? I find it hard to believe that they will ALL be well adjusted teens/adults, but I wish them the best.

Trent, this point you’re making is GOOD, and seems so OBVIOUS, I just don’t understand how/why Brangelina willfully continue to ignore it. I don’t think they love their kids as much as they love being known for having tons of kids. Otherwise, they might slow the heck down and enjoy the ones they have.
