Angelina Jolie is just like the rest of us, as she still finds herself dealing with the normal struggles all moms face.
The 45-year-old Oscar winner graces the cover of the March edition of British Vogue, and inside the magazine, she opens up about how she and her six children with ex Brad Pitt โ Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox โ are coping as they quarantine together in their Los Angeles home.
โWell, I was never very good at sitting still,โ said the normally globe-trotting actor and activist. โEven 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. I didnโt imagine it in that true, traditional sense.

โI feel like Iโm lacking in all the skills to be a traditional stay-at-home mom,โ she continued. โIโm managing through it because the children are quite resilient, and theyโre helping me, but Iโm not good at it at all.โ
The actress said the love she and her kids share keeps the house running smoothly. โI feel like weโre such a team. It may sound clichรฉd, but you love and you try, and even if you burn the eggs, that doesnโt matter in the end. But also, youโve met our kids. Theyโre pretty capable,โ she explained.
The family has settled, for now, in LA so the children could be close to Pitt, who โis only five minutes away.โ Since the former coupleโs acrimonious split in 2016, Jolie has focused on making sure her kids are OK.

โThe past few years have been pretty hard. Iโve been focusing on healing our family. Itโs slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body,โ she said, adding, โBut Iโm not there.โ
Jolieโs relationship with her kids is changing as they get older. Their nighttime chats now remind her of the bond she shared with her late mom, Marcheline Bertrand.

โI was best friends with my mom. I loved having babies, but I love sitting up at night and talking to my kids. I like the teenage years. I like the older years. I love hanging out with them.โ
Jolie is also embracing getting older. Age, she said, has allowed her to feel โmuch more comfortableโ with herself.

โIโm looking forward to my fifties โ I feel that Iโm gonna hit my stride in my fifties. Though we were on the trampoline the other day, and the children said, โNo, Mom, donโt do that. Youโll hurt yourself.โ
โAnd I thought, โGod, isnโt that funny?โ There was a day I was an action star, and now the kids are telling me to get off the trampoline because Iโll hurt myself.โ
