Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Labelled 'Bad Parents'

That's the verdict of one 'expert'...

Friday 26th Oct 2007

A new report has branded Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ‘bad parents’ for regularly up-rooting their four young children as they make their global rounds.

Over the last few months, Brangelina and their brood have stopped off in New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Chicago and Prague, among other cities around the world.

Brad said recently that he and Angie want to give their kids a “broad vision of the world” – however some say that the constant upheaval may be doing more harm than good.

"It would appear that they are attempting to have the children fit into their lifestyle as opposed to them amending their lifestyle to meet the needs of their children," marriage and family therapist Sloane Veshinski tells Fox news.

"Young children need structure and a routine; however, the constant movement can cause an inability to form attachment bonds to those around them, form relationships with other children and establish a peer group.

"The children may have difficulties in forming relationships with their peers, other than their siblings. They may, in the future, be diagnosed with issues such as attachment disorders or ADHD as their world is moving faster than they are able to process."

Veshinski goes as far as to say that Brad and Angie are “unaware of the developmental needs of their children" and could benefit from some Britney-style tutoring on how to be good parents.

Only recently, Angie was reportedly forced to withdraw Maddox from his New York French school due to the "big disruptions" the couple's presense caused - so maybe having globe-trotting superstar folks really isn't all it's cracked up to be.

  • Same "expert" wrote this about them weeks prior: Saturday, October 13, 2007: And according to experts, the Brangelina brand won’t be busting anytime soon. “They appear to be a strong couple who are dedicated to forming a healthy and stable family unit,” said Sloane Veshinski, a Hollywood family and marriage therapist. “What has contributed to their strong relationship is their ability to overcome the obstacles they have faced through the negative publicity a

  • BRAD ABD ANGELINA ARE GOOD PARENTS, THEY TRAVEL WITH THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND THE HAVE TEACHERS WHO HOMESCHOOL THEIR CHILDREN, SO STOP SAYING THAT THEY ARE BAD PARENTS. GET YOUR FACTS STAIGHT AND STOP SPREADING GOSSIP. GET A LIFE.

  • Publicity seeking "experts" don't know this family - they have no business giving a textbook diagnosis. It's unprofessional and violates their code of professional conduct. The most important source of stability, routine and security for children of this age is found within their own family. That's what they're getting. Discussing attachment bonds, peer groups for children of this age is inappropriate and ridiculous. Their son left school because his dad finished work on his film

  • If Ms. Sloane Vishinski is truly concerned about the developmental progress of the Jolie-Pitt kids, perhaps her and colleages should comment on how damaging it is for the papparazzi to be scaring the children, stalking their every move and sticking cameras in their faces all the time! Children ARE subject to their parents occupations, just like children who have one or BOTH parents in the military. I think it's really slimy for the media to constantly nitpick and spread lies about this couple!
