Pitt to Paps -- Back Off When Kids Are Around

61. They only have one child of school age (the 6 yr old) the others are 3, 2 and 1. What is up with the kids should be in school? So they travel a lot, they can, and the oldest just turned 6.
Will and Jada home school. Families today have more options as to how they choose to educate their children. I would not be losing sleep about the education of these children.

62. Why dont you jerks stop knocking Ange for adopting kids. ... for god sake do you really think that she would use them as accessories.... kids are not easy, believe me, so SHUT UP SLANGING HER FOR ADOPTING KIDS...........She is a wonderful HUMAN BEING.

63. This is a gentleman. Putting personal opinions aside about their relationship, I admire the way both he and Angelina are actually involved with worthy causes -- both state-side and abroad. They just don't show up at a charity event for the photo-ops and publicity...they actually donate a lot of their time and money in trying to make the world a better place. The brat pack (Lindsey/Nicole/Paris) should take note.

64. Pitt has to be nice to paps. To confront them you need what he lost...balls
Shiloh is seldom with them because Pitt won't allow Jolie to pimp her out like she does the ones she bought..

65. It's pretty funny that TMZ is complementing a superstar for his manners. Since when have the Paparazzi shown any manners? Will they actually comply? Doubt it

66. So do all parents who have to travel for work, and must relocate on a regular basis instantly become bad parents? There are more ways to live your life than in a suburban split level. There are nanny's, home schooling options, travelling tutors, etc.

I don't know these two people, do you?

How can you judge their parenting skills on gossip columns and pictures? At least these two use their celebrity to help others. Something, most of Hollywoods brain dead, vapid, and useless inhabitants do not do.

67. The kids should be off limits to the parasites. Not too much to ask.

68. You know, I'm not a big fan of Brad's never was and really lost interest after he left Jennifer Aniston for Jolie, but I do give him credit, he seems to be a great dad. These poor kids didn't ask to have celebrity parents, the paps need to give them a break. The parents have actively sought out celebrity but that doesn't mean their kids need to have a camera shoved in their face every time they leave the house. Brad shows great class and restraint and I have to give a lot of credit for that! Good job Mr. Pitt!

69. Notice how he asked them to use the " long lens", NOT please leave us alone. Just use a different lens?! They are attention seekers. They love the spotlight. They just want to look like concerened parents, but they're not. If they were concerned for the kids safety... they WOULD make sure one parent is always at home. Let the other parent go on location alone. They chose this lifestyle. The kids didn't. Of course this is all these children will ever know , so it will become their "normal". I do agree that the paps follow them in hopes of seeing a trainwreck in this relationship. BUT we also know that Angie staged the Africa photo's of her Brad and Mad when he had just separated from Jen. These people are smarter than they look. AND why are they in NY? Wasn't he just in New Orleans, and she was just in Chicago? They are a bunch of vagabonds !!!

72. this pair loves the limelight..Way too much......BUT.have to admire Pitt asking for long-lens when they are with the kids..BUT..when in the hell are they going to go to a home (New Orleans, LA, Berlin or wherever) and just send the kids to school or stay at home any home for a month..just for stability. So much for Jolie's....I am going to be a stay at home mom. Those kids have been dragged around enough. ..too much. Ya just wonder if any of them know where home is..

73. I saw the Jolie - Pitt Family at the Field Museum in Chicago. The kids were all very excited to be there and they were having fun as a family. Maddox got easily excited around the dinosaurs and ran up to employees and asked questions.

Each time - Brad pulled him away and reminded him he needed to say "Excuse Me Maam, Sir, Officer, if he wanted his questions answered. They were one of the few families that I saw who actually felt it was important.

They seemed like a very loving and affectionate family with very well adjusted kids.
