Angelina Jolie, an ‘incredibly patient’ mom
Angelina Jolie shares six kids with ex Brad Pitt — Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. All of them are under their mom’s care, and she wants them to be open to her. To achieve an “open communication,” Jolie tries to be as loving and kind as she can around them.
“Angelina had a hard time as a teenager. She remembers how tough it was, so she’s incredibly patient with her kids. She wants them to be able to talk to her about anything,” a source told Hollywood Life.
“She does have rules, but she’s not at all what you’d call strict. She gives them a lot of autonomy.”
Angelina follows her mom’s parenting style
Jolie has reportedly followed her mom’s parenting because she was that way to her and her brother when they were growing. Jolie’s mom was very understanding, and she wants to be the same to her children.
Looking back, whenever there are issues, they always talk about it. Having open communication with her kids is among the things she takes pride in as a mom, and she enjoys listening to them.

Brad Pitt’s ex-wife is also very proud of how her kids help each other out. She considered themselves lucky that they are together and they have each other.
