Angelina Jolie says movie star moms shouldn’t ‘complain’ about raising š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren and have it easy compared to ‘most women in the world’

She’s an Oscar winning actress, humanitarian and most importantly a mother of six.

But you won’t hear Angelina Jolie complaining about the hardships of being a working celebrity mom.

In an interview with the New York Daily News, the acknowledged she’s lucky to have ‘much more support than most people’ and that ‘most women in the world’ have it much harder.

Keeping it real: Angelina Jolie said people fortunate to be in her situation shouldn’t complain about being working moms since they have it easy compared to most women in the world

‘Iā€™m not a single mom with two jobs trying to get by every day,’ she said.

‘I have much more support than most people, most women in this world. And I have the financial means to have a home and health care and food.’

Furthermore, the Maleficent star admitted she and fiancƩ Brad Pitt have the ability to pick and chose projects that are convenient to their schedule.

A-list star: Angelina Jolie said, ‘I have much more support than most people, most women in this world,’ pictured with three of her kids earlier this month

‘When I feel Iā€™m doing too much, I do less, if I can. And thatā€™s why Iā€™m in a rare position where I donā€™t have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.’

And she’s also not oblivious to the plight of parents who don’t have the same luxuries.

‘I actually feel that women in my position, when we have all at our disposal to help us, shouldnā€™t complain. Consider all the people who really struggle and donā€™t have the financial means, donā€™t have the support, and many people are single raising š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren. Thatā€™s hard.’

Angelina’s words come just weeks after Gwyneth Paltrow made statements – in the midst of her split from husband Chris Martin – to the contrary saying how it’s ‘harder’ to raise š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren while maintaining an acting career than if she had a 9 to 5 job.

In an interview withĀ E!OnlineĀ the actress said: ‘I think it’s different when you have an office job because It’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult.’

While she made no mention of movie star salaries, she pointed out her perceived hardships further.

‘I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.’

Say what: Gwyneth Paltrow received backlash when she made statements saying it would be easier to raise š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren if she had an office job

After receiving much backlash the Oscar winner attempted to clarify her comments in a post on her Goop blog.

‘Film work takes one away from home and requires 12-14 hours a day, making it difficult to be the one to make the kids their lunch, drive them to school, and put them to bed.’

She continued: ‘This somehow was taken to mean I had said a 9-5 job is easier, and a lot of heat was thrown my way, especially by other working mothers who somehow used my out-of-context quote as an opportunity to express feelings (perhaps projected) on the subject.’

As well as š˜¤š˜©š˜Ŗš˜­š˜„ren, Angelina and Gwyneth both have Brad in common – the Shakespeare In Love star was engaged to the actor in the mid ’90s.

Although both Gwyneth and Angelina are both offspring of Hollywood parents, at least the latter can go somewhat to understanding the hardships felt by mothers as her own Marchelina Bertrand raised her and brother James as a single mum after splitting from Jon Voight.

Angelina has seen first-hand the struggles faced by women living in poverty around the world in her role as a former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
