Angelina: Good Mom, Lucky Mom

I don't doubt that Angelina Jolie is a good mom. But for this piece to come out now...can we say, "damage control?" Have you been reading about her drug tape? The one where she discusses every drug she's ever done (not news) and she apparently confesses to KILLING CHILDHOOD PETS. Um....I think that's "new" news. Anyway, let's just forget about that. She's a GOOD MOM who doesn't even have a nanny spend the night! (I love it when celebs tell us how hands-on they are)

Angelina Jolie says she’s lucky compared to other moms — because she’s able to work just a few months in a year.

The actress, who recently announced she was expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt, insists her hectic lifestyle is much easier than having a regular career.

She says, “I’m very, very lucky. A lot of mothers don’t have a job where they can just work a few months in a year and then come out for two days for a press conference.

“My schedule is very small in comparison when it comes to hours so I can afford to spend as much time as possible with my children.”

And both Brad and Angelina — who have three adopted children, Maddox, six; Pax, four; and Zahara, three; as well as biological daughter, Shiloh, 23 months — always make sure one of them is at home when the other is working.

She adds, “When I’m working, Brad’s home with the children and vice versa.

“We do have nannies that help us, but nobody spends the night.

“We also spend a lot of time completely alone with our children. We’ve kind of found a balance.

“And this year I’m taking off completely for the family.” (Source: Showbiz Spy)
