...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???????????

You see Becs that's what would be in any pap pics of us too,would definately be one of my dtwins scrapping without a doubt oh and dd trailing her assorted dolly equipment which she always seems to loose. So then there'd be one of me scouring TieRack for a missing BBorn dummy accompanied by a puce face hollering dd.

A very reliable source informed that B & A each child has its own nanny...

accordiongirl · 08/02/2009 21:51

nannies are in the bar suitcases

FanjoDiff · 08/02/2009 21:57

I think it's odd/sad that there are so many pictures of the childrens faces. They are not celebs and should be left alone. Even if their parents are 'A' list' stars.

About the thread...they def have nannies .

Janni · 08/02/2009 22:02

Well I for one want to believe it's possible. I don't care if they have nannies coming out of their ears. I need to believe that my children will one day walk out in public together, unstained, neither poking each other nor answering me back...

Leo9 · 08/02/2009 23:04

yup they have not only nannies but personal assistants, shoppers and people for the laundry. Come on people, lets not be utterly naive here! And in that pic they have just come off super-first-celebrity-arse-lickers-class and the kids prob flew cattle class.

Leo9 · 08/02/2009 23:05

and I agree with you FD it was horrible in that link that they have picked out and photographed every child. But then these two do parade them for public view.

WideWebWitch · 08/02/2009 23:09

If I had

a) flown on a private jet or first class

b) had several nannies who sorted children out on journey and just before disembarking

c) had a stylist and looked like Jolie/Pitt

then I too would get off a plane looking like they did (haven't seen pics, taking your word for it)

WideWebWitch · 08/02/2009 23:10

As someone (whose name escapes me) said: "the best labour saving device is always money."

hear hear to that!

quint · 08/02/2009 23:11

1st class or private jet and they may not be officially nannies but you don;t really think they do all that by themselves do you?

They must have nannies surely they have both been doing films recently and attending award ceremonies. No doubt they have a stylist with them to touch them up before they leave anywhere
There is no way she could look that good if she looks after 6 kids all day....come off it!

Eve4Walle · 09/02/2009 09:34

Lol @ Kerry!

I have always thought there was something very odd about all their kids. They all look a bit spaced to me, almost as if they are little robots. Even the babies seem too calm to be 'normal' IYSWIM?

Maybe that's just because my two are so full on, won't sit/stand still ever at all etc.

They definitely have Nannies - I just don't see how they can not.

BonsoirAnna · 09/02/2009 09:37

Their clothes are all expensive and new and coordinated - this makes them look very together.

NorbertDentressangle · 09/02/2009 09:42

Surely, by law of averages, getting off a long-haul flight with 6 children there should be :

a) at least one child that was asleep and is now grumpy at being woken up to get off the plane

b) at least one child that is shouting "I need a poo. I'm desperate!" leaving you scouring the arrivals lounge for a toilet

c) at least one child wearing most of their in-flight meal down the front of their clothes

Nemoandthefishes · 09/02/2009 09:44

Partly depends on the DCs moods..if you had seen our brood out for dinner on fri you would have thought they were positively angelic[5,3 and 2] however if you had seen them this mornign you would have been calling social services

turtle23 · 09/02/2009 09:44

Great big sunglasses. And lots of help.

YesSirICanBoogie · 09/02/2009 09:45

I always feel sorry for celebrity children who are wheeled out for photo oppurtunities. In order for the faces of under 18s to be shown their parents have to sign consent forms which means whenever you see the Jolie-Pitt or Beckham children their parents have given the go-ahead for their faces to be splashed over the papers. And there are some celebrity children you never see since their parents obviously regard their anonymity above press coverage.

nailpolish · 09/02/2009 09:46

they have a private jet with bathrooms and bedroom s and a lounge and they can play with toys and walk around and sleep all they like

and yes they do have nannies they have owned up to that

they probably had a shower on the plane and got all changed and co ordinated

if i had a hairdresser, a stylist, a personal trainer, a chef, big sunglasses and a gang of nannies id look like that

HeadFairy · 09/02/2009 09:51

What np said. I've done a long haul flight in first class (admittedly without children) in a flat bed and the difference in the way you look and feel is beyond comparison! That's how they manage it, the kids have all had a good 10 hours kip, mum and dad have had probably about 8 hours kip (and not sitting ridigly upright with a sleeping toddler on their lap and someone's seat back in their face) and they don't have to find and carry their own bags.

purplemonkeydishwasher · 09/02/2009 09:52

that's a pretty wicked "Dad Mustache" taht pitty is sporting. he's obviously cracked this whole parenting malarky,

very strong drugs.
is the only answer.

HeadFairy · 09/02/2009 10:08

Stewie, they probably change clothes just before they get off..

BalloonSlayer · 09/02/2009 10:10

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

Whoever posted that . . . before the twins were born, Angelina and Brad had FOUR children. Now, when Angelina was working on one movie and Brad on another. When Angelina was in front of a camera, filming a dramatic scene . . . who do you think was looking after those four children?

Do you actually seriously believe they were sitting on the floor behind her, cross-legged, in silence?

Lots of people have nannies. It's not a crime.

Why this constant need to deny their existence?

The reason B&A can have six children and jobs with bizarre working hours, is because there are nannies.
