Brad and Angie Screwing Up The Kids

October 19, 2007


Doctors are confirming what the public has been saying for the last year, moving around the kids is just not good for the Jolie-Pitts!

In the last two years alone, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have moved their kids to half a dozen cities around the world and therapists are saying that it is just not good for the kids, especially Maddox.

According to psychotherapist/social worker Puja Hall , Jolie and Pitt are "not creating a stable environment outside the family unit.”

"Maddox is an adopted child, so he already has a sense of abandonment…Kids that constantly move are like army brats, in that very often they don't want to open up to people. They feel loss, and there is a problem with attachment."

Although it is really isn't anybody's business how they raise their children, Angie and Brad have to understand that it is just not stable environment for the kids.

Hall tells Page Six, "With the moves, the kids just don't invest in relationships, because they're going to lose them anyway…They think: 'Why bother? I'm not gonna stick around. We're gonna pick up and go, and the loss of friends is painful.' "

It might be fun and exciting to move the kids around now, but they might have some serious issues when they are much older. Do you guys agree with what this therapist/social worker is saying?

No she didn't tell him to fall in love with her, she just spread her nasty gaping legs in front of him and used a child to seduce him from his WIFE. A practice she has used many times before. Love? I doubt it.

Everyone on this blog site, are so ridulous, jennifer and Brad didnt make a good couple, there was nothing there, and she didnt tell Brad to go out with her or fall in love, this was his thing and now they have 4 beautiful children and they'll be fine moving about because sooner or later they'll settle down. So you all stop being JEALOUS, cause thats all youz r.

Ummmmmm Mary? Has anyone explained to you that this is a blog site? You know, to voice opinions about celebrity behaviors? YOU are the one ATTACKING the bloggers on here....Maybe you should question your OWN mentality.

Are you serious? These kids have their parents, nannies, body guards, tudors and each other everywhere they go. It doesn't matter where they are in the world because they take their world with them.

I am shocked by the nasty, rude and downright derogatory comments on here. The malice displayed is completely over the top. Given some of the nasty, vicious and mean-spirited comments on these sites, you really have to wonder about the mentality of the person who is writing them. To those people I would say, were you not aware that when you make detrimental comments about another, those comments actually reflect an inner part of yourself? It is a well-known fact that negative comments are normally made by people who have low self-esteem, feel a lack of self-worth and are often jealous of the person they are attacking. Given that you are making your assumptions on often fabricated, distorted media reporting and unfounded rumours (on someone you have never met) is also very disturbing. As for the disgraceful whore and slut comments, what are you people on?? Husbands are not property, so you can’t steal another women’s husband. And why does the woman always get blamed in these situations? Remember it takes two to tango. I moved around a lot as a child and I loved it. It gave me a sense of empathy and understanding of different nationalities and cultures. As long as the children are loved, appreciated and cared for (and the Jolie-Pitt children all look very happy and contented in the photos) I am sure they will be just fine when they get older.

Angie and Brad stinks bad

I agree with Princess Yeti that she is afraid that another slut will steal her man. I also agree that moving the kids frequently will probably hurt the kids. I hope I'm wrong for the kids sake.

nice expensive hair extensions angie. hypocrite.
6:07AM 10/22/07 mama
She is probably afraid that another slut will steal him, like she stole him.....

Brad and Angelina are NOT married. They do not do the "hands on" raising of those children. They bring the slew of nannies along to raise the children unless of course there is a good photo op and THEN they play "mommy and daddy" How pathetic.

This kids are growing up on a much higher level. It may be a more difficult path, but they'll end up much more evolved.
3:39PM 10/20/07 ahhhh
so....there is more damage in having the children travel WITH their parents so that the parents can raise them than leaving them at home to develop "relationships" with people other than their parents?? A MARRIED COUPLE raising THREE children making sure that they are the ones doing the raising is WRONG?? Developing and securing a strong bond with your siblings and parents is less important than anything else?? We all have our lives in which our children are forced to adjust. These kids happen to be the children of celebrities. Better than having no parents which would have been the likely case had these hands-on parents not come along!!

I disagree with this. These children are traveling the world. They are learning that the people they can depend upon are EACH OTHER - THEIR FAMILY. If Brangelina traveled the world and left the kids, then people would complain about that too. These children are constantly with Mom and Dad. They rarely are without their parents and siblings -leave them alone.
3:29PM 10/20/07 no nonsense
I'm sorry. In a world filled with children being abused, abandoned, tortured, killed, you can't be saying that this celebrity couple adopting children that would otherwise be raised in a 3rd rate Orphanage are reason for outcry because we don't agree with the childrearing of basically responsible parents! What a child needs is love and family security. After that, no one has the guide book on how to raise the perfect child! Ridiculous. By the way, my husband is an Army Brat with no relationship issues and my best friend grew up in the "perfect" situation but her therapy is not over!

This isn't a doctor. She is just a SOCIAL WORKER who advises people with sexual addictions. Like the internet. Completely out of bounds of professional conduct for her to comment on a real child like she did with Maddox. She doesn't know this child. She offers no basis for her views and no studies that would confirm such ideas. There are plenty of common beliefs that just don't hold true when you finally examine them. Anecdotes don't count. Every child is different and there is simply no one way to raise a child. The proof of bad parenting can be seen in people who call a stranger a "whore" or who are stupid enough to believe tabloid gossip. What kind of uppbringing leads people to behave like that?

I agree that it is their buisness and they can do what they want with their kids. But maybe if they had a place in the city that they called home and kept going back to, they could make friends there and it would just be like going on holidays but coming back home again after. then they would have some stabability. Also, why do they always pick pax and zahara up? for gods sake they are old enough to walk!!!

I too grew up in a military family as an officers child. I have moved all my life. I agree with the experts. I have learned to adapt and I have learned to hide my emotions behind a smile and to be brave. As an adult I mourn the loss of childhood friends. I do not expose the "real" me to many people but continue the front that I have prepared since childhood. They are making many many mistakes starting with uprooting those children and moving them all around the world. The earlier post is correct, military families are not moved around every two months. I personally have chosen to remain in one place to benefit my own children despite the chronic "wander lust" I have from being moved around so many times. I want my children to have security and the experience of lifelong friends. In the name of good parenting they should stay in one place.

okay the children are better off with them than in a poverty stricken orphanage BUT the ordinary person would never be able to adopt a child without proof of stability in home, school and environment...that's what they NEED..why put maddox into a school to learn french for 2 stinkin months. I see why they adopt outside the U.S..adoption laws elsewhere seem to be way more lax.
6:13PM 10/19/07 anonymous
while passing judgement ask yourselves this question: if whenever you tried to settle down with your family somewhere you couldn't go anywhere or do anything without scores of strangers following you, shouting at you and your children, taking pictures of you and your children and generally not giving your family any peace or solitude, would you stay long in that place? those kids always look happy loved and well cared for. i think they are great parents and their kids are going to be fine. remember brad was raised with great family values and his family are a large part of those children's lives.

I am a military brat, who is working on a doctorate . . . Moving doesn't hurt. I have so many other friends whose fathers were shuffled from military base to military base from year to year for years. What they are doing is nothing new.
1:40PM 10/19/07 JELIAH
its nobodys buisness how they raise there kids its just that angelina is so damn weird anyway (i dont see her as the mother type) you just cant help but feel sorry for her kid collection
1:07PM 10/19/07 Narcissus
Wow, such hostility, CJ. Those kids don't look school-age.
11:55AM 10/19/07 lor
I thought the exact same thing when I saw the picture of Maddox leaving his school on the last day. As a child, it is very traumatizing to changes schools all the time. Add to that the drama of their celebrity and that can do real damage. I know Ange has the best of intentions but you know what the road to hell is paved with.
11:35AM 10/19/07 K
I've been saying that for about a year now... I could've wrote that article myself! I agree 100% with the therapists. It's the nutty fans that can't grasp it. Plus Jolie has her own abandonment issues... her father never really playing a role in her life. Her kids are suffering b/c she hasn't fixed herself yet now she's just passing her legacy onto them. Get help Angie!!!
10:21AM 10/19/07 CJ
army brats are not moved to different schools every 2 months, moron.
10:18AM 10/19/07 CJ
Angie wants them to be 'citizens of the world' but instead they will end up feeling like they never belonged anywhere- its just sad.
9:41AM 10/19/07 Narcissus
So I guess this shrink thinks Army brats are being abused by having to move with their mom and dad?
9:27AM 10/19/07 ny
I think its correct.
9:13AM 10/19/07 cathy
And God save me from Psychotherapists. Some of these so called psychotherapists have let mentally ill people out of hospital for them to go and murder people. Some of them dont know what they are talking about.
8:38AM 10/19/07 cathy
JT. There u go. It is love that is the most important thing and being wanted.
8:35AM 10/19/07 JT
I moved around a lot too as a child often from one country to another speaking different languages. AND i'm the only child so i don't have siblings to connect with. I grew up to be fine and have lots of good friends around me, but at the same time I am a very independent person. So I think they will be normal when they grow up as long as they are taught well at home.
8:10AM 10/19/07 iCu
While it is true that however they chose to live and care for their kids is their sole business,it is also understandable how we the "real people" tend to say our opinions about them.Afterall they are celebrities,it is know that when you are one,as much as you enjoy the glamour and fame,you also suffer the public scrutiny.We are your business..And likewise.. Brad and Jolie wanted their kids to grow normal..Wth the paparazzi everywhere,it sure is difficult.But moving the kids from one place to another doesn't help the situation.maybe if Shiloh could speak..She'd prolly say..STAY PUT PARENTS..
7:53AM 10/19/07 cathy
There are a lot of celebs out there who just palm their kids off to nannies, doing their own thing. At least they LOVE AND WANT these kids. I really thnk some celebs just want kids because IT IS THE THING TO DO.
7:50AM 10/19/07 cathy
Why dont u lot mind ur own bloody business. Its their Kids, and as long as they are WITH THEM I cannot see any harm being done. How about Kids whose Dads are in the Army?????? They move around dont they?????
7:35AM 10/19/07 5love
no i don't agree with the story. it's not even credible. it's from the ny post, their expert specializes in sex addictions. nothing to do with children rearing, she has NO credibility. hahahahaha. what a joke. and no one has a right to tell these people how to grow their children. these children belong to brad and angelina and no one else. people need to mind their own business. look after your own children. every parent has a different way of raising their children and one 'model' does not fit all. KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING BRAD/ANGIE!
7:22AM 10/19/07 Lisa
Who in the hell are you to tell people how to raise their kids? I don't see you bashing other parents who are constantly on the move with their children. Keep your fucking nose out of their business.
7:14AM 10/19/07 ZZ
totall agree with the doctor. these two so-called parents are publicity whores. they should not be allowed to adopt another child.
7:09AM 10/19/07 She Makes Me Sick
I have said this all along, she is only using these children to restore her reputation. Too late, she is a husband stealing slut and her children do not even know what it is like to sleep in the same place for more than a month. People like to say Britney is a bad mom but if we all new the real story about these celebs. I bet we would all be shocked.
7:07AM 10/19/07 cole
I believe the adoption of the children was positive. However, they are in dire need of stability. The constant traveling and relocating is not healthy. I believe in exposing children to a variety of cultures and people throughout the world. Have a schedule in which they plan to have all the children on vacation such as summer break or holidays. Purchase a home in the city they really like and call it home for a their developing years. Create a sense of belonging and community.
7:06AM 10/19/07 Alex
It is nobody's business how they raise their kids, it is not your kids or your life. I don't see people picking on other celebrities and how their raise their kids, give me a damn break and leave this people alone, and report on something important. Gosh some people will their judgmental attitude really kill me
7:02AM 10/19/07 boo boo
OMG is this breaking news? It's going to be sad when those kids hit teenagers and are messed up because of who their parents are, a what a whore their mother is, but by that time they will have moved 1000 times to 1000 cities in dozens of countries. WTG: You will not be up for parents of the year ANYTIME soon
6:51AM 10/19/07 stefystef
Yes, I agree.
6:19AM 10/19/07 loo loo
well no shit sherlock. i'm surprised they don't seem to understand the effect this has on them. or maybe they do and just don't care. why adopt so many kids if your'e just gonna drag them around the contry? kids need stability and routine, beyond what goes on at home. when will these people learn?
