Angelina Jolie doesn't think she's "good" at being a "traditional" parent.
The Maleficent actress who has Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox with her former husband Brad Pitt always knew she wanted a large family.
But she's had to adapt to staying at home amid the global health pandemic crisis because she always envisioned a future where they were constantly roaming the world and having adventures.

The mom of six opened up to British Vogue recently on parenting during the pandemic, and admits she was "never very good at sitting still".
"Even though I wanted to have many children and be a mom, I always imagined it kind of like Jane Goodall, travelling in the middle of the jungle somewhere".
Angelina continued to say that she "didn’t imagine it in that true, traditional sense" and says that she's "lacking in all the skills to be a traditional stay-at-home mom" but that she's managing through it and her children are helping her.
"I'm managing through it because the children are quite resilient, and they’re helping me, but I’m not good at it at all," she shared.
