...to wonder how Brad & Angelina can wander through Tokyo airport with 6 under 10 all co-ordinating in neutral tones without a speck of vomit, wee or tantrum in sight?

Just saw the pic whilst getting my haircut,then spent the whole hour pondering.

The entire family were in black/charcoal and looked as if they'd just come off a catwalk(even the Baby Born carriers were vomit free and co-ordinating).

All 6 babies/kids were looking serene,actually m&d were too,nobody was haring after lost kids or looking for a loo,nobody was screeching.

How can this be? Before you say money and nannies,no nannies were in the pic and all the money in the world wouldn't ensure dp and I looked that serene,clean and co-ordinated after a mere 4 hour car trip to the ferry with our 3.

They'd just got off a long haul flight,how can this be,how???????????

They'd be careful not to allow the 17 nannies to be in the pic though - they'll have come through the gate very separately I imagine.

They had a private plane !

squeaver · 04/02/2009 14:44

The nannies were wearing their cloaks of invisibility.

Twims · 04/02/2009 14:45

Well I suppose M and D were serene as they'd spent the long haul flight sleeping/chilling in their private jet whilst nannies had been on hand to look after the kids / feed/entertain/ who then changed them when they arrived at the airport, gave them a snack and then sent them out with A and B and then with the huge crowd of paps I suppose they would ensure everyone was hearded in the right way.

It's amazing what you can do with CGI these days.

SammyK · 04/02/2009 14:46

I need to see the picture.

missblythe · 04/02/2009 14:46

I doubt they even travel in the same class as the kids. Mom and Dad up front, snoozing on the reclining beds, kids creating havoc in cattle class with a troup of nannies and minders.

claireybrations · 04/02/2009 14:47

I dunno, Brad looks pretty harrassed here to me

Idrankthechristmasspirits · 04/02/2009 14:49

but how do you know they have nannies?

I thought angelina had stated before that they don't have nannies and try to work at separate times

Personally i find that a little valium slipped into the kids snacks works well.

callalilies · 04/02/2009 14:50

I'm sure I've read that they have nannies. They must do.

MilaMae · 04/02/2009 14:50

Clairey that is not stressed!!!!!

They would all be in first class or on a private jet. They would be travelling with some kind of help, not that this makes them the spawn of the devil, they are you know, kind of in the public eye and their children need protection in a way regular kids don't. They would have maybe packed a change of clothes????

SammyK · 04/02/2009 14:55

I do not believe that they don't have nannies.

I think Brad looks a little old in those pics.

callalilies · 04/02/2009 14:58

Absolutely, if you had enough money and 6 kids why wouldn't you have nannies?!Certainly nothing to criticise in that imo, very sensible in fact.

apsie · 04/02/2009 14:58

I read somewhere that each child has their own nanny.

twoluvlykids · 04/02/2009 14:58

I think the kids are all plastic wind up toys, and the parents (can't remember their names) exchange them regularly for the next size up.

So we think they're real.

Look closer, you can see the seams in the plastic.

MilaMae · 04/02/2009 15:00

My dc could have 2 nannies each and they'd still be haring off in all directions

Not attacking them just and

Mila

Maybe the children are quiet and sticking close by parents because there are a hundred paparazzi bulbs popping off in their faces?

Not recommending that as an airport hazard navigation technique btw...

MilaMae · 04/02/2009 15:04

I don't know if it got my lot in order I could live with it

I think I read that the only hired nannies once the twins were born, not previously.

becstarlitsea · 04/02/2009 15:12

and [feeling small and inadequate emoticon] and and [feeling a bit fat emoticon] and

I can't get DS to nursery with us looking like that, and I only have one child. Any paps (fine chance!) would get a photo of me with my mouth open yelling 'Get back here DS!' and DS poking some dog poo with a stick or similar mischief and DH shouting 'For farks sake why is it always such a shambles?'.

Hence:
Angelina Jolie = well paid professional goddess
Becstar = hanging out on MN drinking tea wondering if I should get some work done

bran · 04/02/2009 15:14

I've travelled first class (once) and it was totally painless compared to economy. They appear fairly stress-free because they haven't had to queue for anything, they've had plenty of room to stretch out and sleep, somebody else is sorting out the luggage and they have had a path cleared through the airport for them.

Twims · 04/02/2009 15:15

There's so much gossip about those two you never know what's true or not but their house sounds like a chaotic/regular house and the issue of nannies

but Angelina's rep claims:

?Two part time nannies are employed by the family. They do not live on the property. ?
