Angelina Jolie isn’t just an ass-kicking box office draw, she’s also continuing her reign as Most Loving Mama Ever. Having already acknowledged daughter Shiloh “likes to dress like a boy,” we have more photos of her doing just that at the local swimming hole. And she hates that long hair. Angelina says, “It’s not my choice. I have a very strong-willed four-year-old girl, who tells me what she want to wear and I let her be who she is. I think people think kids should be a certain way, but I feel they should wear what they feel like wearing and they should express themselves. Shiloh cried one night and said, ‘Please cut my hair off. I don’t want to have long hair’.” Somebody tell Nanny No. 7 to get the scissors.

I wish my mom was that cool when I was growing up. -_- Instead of wrestling me into a stupid dress every Sunday.

Shark trunks. Awesome.
So what’s with the “call the nanny” joke at the end of a story illustrating (a) that kids come in all types and (b) Ms Jolie is the sweet and empathetic parent that many of us wish we’d had?
Oh yes — reviving the dead horse just to beat it again.

What a great mom! I can’t stand how the tabloids keep freaking out about Shiloh, as if wearing boy’s clothes will traumatize her for life. You know what will traumatize her for life? Having the entire world gawk and point fingers at her just for being who she is.

That’s creepy…not that she dresses her as a boy, but that that picture is there.

You will never have a rich, understanding movie star mother. ;~;

Would they be as tolerant if one of their boys wanted to act and dress like a girl?

@Ogre Magi: Good question. But Angelina seems to be a courageous lady, so the answer is probably yes.
I too wonder about the “nanny no 7” quip. How lame. They take shift working, one of staying at home with the kids, and brings them to locations in order for the family to stay together. Lots of rich people people might deserve to be satirized for leaving the kids with the nannies, but Jolie and Pitt don’t seem to be among them.

She’s a kid! Big deal- I played with my sister’s Barbies…by flushing their heads down the toilet. I’m glad my parents didn’t have me ready for pre-op surgery for that one incident or deep criminal psychological lock-down.
