Angelina Jolie thinks children don’t want their parents to be ‘perfect’ but instead be ‘honest’ when they make mistakes. The actress, who has six children with ex-husband Brad Pitt, opened up about parenthood in a new column for TIME magazine.
She wrote: ‘Now, in the midst of this pandemic, I think of all the mothers and fathers with children at home. All hoping they can do everything right, answer all needs, and stay calm and positive.
One thing that has helped me is to know that’s impossible.’ The Maleficent star added: ‘It is a lovely thing to discover that your children don’t want you perfect.
They just want you honest. And doing your best. In fact, the more room they have to be great where you are weak, the stronger they may become. ‘
