Privileged Moms ‘Shouldn’t Complain,’ Says Angelina Jolie
Raising children come with their fair share of demands, commitments and responsibilities for every mom. Angelina Jolie believes, a celebrity or privileged mum is better placed to handle this role and should not complain. Continue to read……
Acccording to the Huffington Post;
Jolie told the New York Daily News, “I’m not a single mom with two jobs trying to get by every day, I have much more support than most people, most women in this world. And I have the financial means to have a home and health care and food.”
Jolie’s and Brad Pitt’s children are home-schooled and travel everywhere with the stars, whether they’re on location or not. She is able to mold her career around her life, editing films while the kids are in school and making it back in time to eat family meals together.
“I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldn’t complain,” she told the Daily News. “Consider all the people who really struggle and don’t have the financial means, don’t have the support, and many people are single raising children. That’s hard.”
The “Maleficent” star has been open about her parenting philosophies in the past, and has even toyed with ditching Hollywood for her family.
“We want to make sure we don’t build a family so big that we don’t have absolutely enough time to raise them each really well,” she told Vanity Fair in 2010, adding, “Children are clearly a commitment, a bigger commitment [than marriage]. It’s for life.
