IMO, Angelina's comments above about Shiloh versus the "survivors," I think are atrocious. While I applaud her wanting to give these children from all over the world a loving and privileged home, I don't agree that Shiloh deserves less love and attention because she was born into wealth and prosperity. What kind of a mother says that about her children?

as a mother of children who are adopted, one came to me at 4 days old and the other was 5 months old..i am appalled by Angelina's comments. Yes, the experiences are different and unique, but that's because each child is different and unique..each child requires something different based on their age and ALWAYS will, but one is not better than the other!!!

Didn't know where to post this. Anyone she the commericals for LA Weight Loss (or is it Nutrasystem??) with Whoopie Goldberg? She looks incredible, but wasn't she a spokesperson for SlimFast not too long ago???

All I can say about Angelina's comments is that I'm very glad no one follows me about recording all the goofy stuff that come out of my mouth.

I just heard on the local radio station that Suzanne Sommers' house was one lost in the raging Malibu Fire.

At least Angelina was honest, I do like that about her. She did seem to say it was partly the lack of personality in Shiloh, and that will change. Texannie, Whoopie was definitely the spokeswoman for Slimfast, and the "before" picture for that ad I'm sure was from the pre-slimfast time! Maybe she put on weight after the slimfast period and is now on that new system. It was odd.

"I'm conscious that I have to make sure I don't ignore her needs, just because I think the others are more vulnerable." I think people are not acknowledging this part of the quote.

When my first child was born, it was such a long drawn out labor including a lot of pain, tears and hours of pushing, etc. Then with #2, it was a cake walk, no drugs, less pain, two pushes, no crying, poof, baby. I remember when I was in recovery, before they had brought #2 in to the room, my older sister was there and she asked how I was feeling and I said "Actually, I don't feel anything. I don't feel like I had a baby, I don't feel the emotions I did when I went through this the first time. I don't feel for her the way I did the first time. It's like, whoo hoo, yeah, I had a baby, big deal." Now, that sounds harsh, but that's how I felt, of course that all changed. Shiloh is also no longer a newborn, and I imagine that Jolie said these things soon after Shiloh was born. Hormones and emotions are funny things. I imagine that has all changed by now. Thank god there was no one there that could put me on record and publish my words.

Tishala, thank you for that very insightful interpretation of the artwork. I can see that now.

You shouldn't have to make any conscious effort to treat one of your children different from the others.

I would imagine there are many reasons one child has/needs to be treated different than the others. However, that shouldn't play into the love you have for each child.

Mamie, I would welcome a post of the COMPLETE quote, minus all of the ellipses'. Don't get me wrong, I'm on team Aniston; but, I still don't think it's fair to judge a person's true feelings from a chopped up quote on PerezHilton.

Eeyore, I agree with you there. There is probably a whole lot more to the quote than posted and it probably explains a lot. I would hope anyway. I'm on neither team. I don't know their whole story though it does seem like Jennifer got a raw deal.

She didn't say she would love them differently.

I read the whole article, what she does say is that she thought she would feel more for Shiloh because she was her biological child but she found it was more the opposite. She has more history with the first two and they had a whole history before her. She also didn't come up with the "blob" comment herself. The reporter said the word first.

We don't know what was going on in the Anniston Pitt family so who's to say who got a raw deal, imo.

Well, we don't know what really went on but I don't think that when Brad went off to film Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Jennifer expected him to fall in love with his co-star.

I don't believe Angelina meant at all that she loved Shiloh any less. There are differences between Shiloh and the other two kids simply by virtue of each birth and she understands what that can mean for each child emotionally and psychologically. Escapee, I understand what you mean and while most would never admit it, it's not that unusual. I had such an easy pregnancy with Travis - gained 17 pounds, never ever sick, felt better than I ever had and Travis did not use my insides as a punching bag - that I had a really hard time believing it was all real. Delivery was another matter. I developed preeclampsia (sp), had induced labor, demerol and an epidural, and then, after 20 hours of labor, a c-section where I got to see my son's face (he was already wrapped in a blanket) for about 15 seconds before they took him to NICU. So we didn't have that immediate bond. And it didn't really kick in for about 36 hours when my milk came in the morning before we left the hospital.

She's crazy in love with that baby. She just wants us to know that she is crazy in love with other two, too, even though the media seems more interested in the genetic product of two extremely sexy people. When I was little, my favorite color was green because nobody ever pick it and I felt sorry for it. Purple on the other hand didn't need me. (But secretly, I loved purple too.)
