“How do I raise my children? I hit them every day,” Brad Pitt once joked. Not too fortunate, given that he was suspected of child abuse. In fact, he is simply stricter about their behavior, unlike Angelina Jolie, who prefers to let everything take its course.

The ex-spouses have six children. There are only three biological relatives: Shiloh – she is 16, as well as twins Knox and Vivien, who are 14.
Three receptionists. Paksu is 18, he was adopted in Vietnam. Maddox is 21, Jolie took him from a shelter in Cambodia. Zahara from Ethiopia, girl 17.
Where did what come from?
It quickly became apparent that Brad and Angelina did not see eye to eye on parenting. Many scandals between the stars were connected just with this topic.
Pitt grew up in an ordinary family, where they believed that children should follow certain rules of behavior. Be clear about what can and cannot be done.
Jolie’s father left the family when the girl was only a year old. She grew up among musicians, actors, artists – people who are not familiar with a clear and well-established daily routine. And Angelina approaches the upbringing of her own children in a very peculiar way.
No framework
Jolie is sure that her children do not need a traditional school, like all sorts of tests and exams. The duration and frequency of classes with visiting teachers always depended largely on the mood of the students themselves. The only thing that their parents certainly demanded of them was to thoroughly study at least one foreign language.
The heirs cannot leave the house freely because of close and often unhealthy attention to themselves, and therefore, they are cut off from lively and active communication with their peers.
But they could always travel with their elders. Eat anything, anytime, including chips, pizza, ice cream, drink soda, even in the middle of the night. No framework that can limit the development of personality – this is Angelina’s motto. And in no case do not raise your voice to children.
Pitt, apparently, got tired of arguing endlessly with the woman he loved and caved in under her. One of the nannies who worked in the family later said:
“The house is in total chaos! Children are not adapted to observe the regime and any norms of etiquette. But there is nothing to be surprised here, because the actors themselves lead a rather hectic lifestyle. They can wake up in the middle of the night, wake up the kids and go watch movies and eat ice cream.”
Everyone has their own quirks
Fans of Jolie and Pitt often discuss the fact that the children of the couple, deprived of normal communication with their peers, keep themselves closed and aloof in public. And being away from prying eyes, they come off in full.
The least problematic of all the heirs was Zakhara. If you do not take into account the unexpected appearance on the horizon of her biological mother, who was considered dead. The heated struggle for the child then ended in favor of Jolie.
Zahara is the most sociable, often smiling in public, ready to help her star parent in everything. And the girl is not offended by her talents: she voices cartoons, proved herself in the design of jewelry. However, there were rumors that when she was Zahara, Shilo often got it – the girls fought in earnest. They fought for the attention of their parents, it came to real hatred for each other.
Only the lazy have not heard about the features of Shiloh. As the star parents stated, she felt like a transgender and intended to change sex after coming of age. Then she changed her mind and is now moving with leaps and bounds towards femininity.
Not for life, but for death, as they say, fought with each other and Maddox – Pax. Pax is very secretive and in the family. He especially does not like to leave the house, but he learned to cook well.
Maddox in his teens “lit”, getting to alcohol. Another nanny of the family confessed to reporters: “When Maddox was only 15, he was already drinking wine. Once I caught him with a glass of alcohol in his father’s car. According to rumors, after a dramatic divorce from Pitt, Jolie categorically forbade bringing any alcohol into her house.
According to some reports, he was like no one else for the divorce of his parents. It was Maddox that Angelina bequeathed most of her inheritance.
And finally, Knox and Vivienne. For a long time, they preferred to appear in public, while holding in their hands … their baby blankets. The brother gave up this habit before the sister. It is Knox who owns the characterization of the whole family, which Angelina once quoted in an interview: “We are crazy and always will be.”
