Pitt ‘physically & emotionally tired’ from being Mr Mom!

Brad Pitt is urging lady love Angelina Jolie to stay at home a bit more, for he’s exhausted from being both mum and dad to their kids.

Brad, who had never experienced fatherhood till three years ago when he met Jolie, who at that time was already mum to Cambodian son Maddox, has gone to being a dad of four in a few short years.

And, since he does a lot of the work himself like making breakfast and dressing the kids for school, as well as taking care of baby Shiloh, a source reveals that he is now both “physically and emotionally” tired. “Brad’s physically and emotionally tired.

Taking care of all the kids is a strain on him,” Hollywoodrag.com quoted a source, as saying.

“They have help. They have nannies, but Brad does a lot of the work himself, he feels he owes the children that. He cooks breakfast, and he cleans up the kids when they spill stuff on themselves. He dresses Zahara and Pax and Maddox for school. This is a lot for a man who, three years ago, had no children,” the source added.

And this, the source revealed, has prompted the couple, who is currently in Prague where Jolie is filming her new film ‘Wanted’, to sit down for a heart-to-heart.

“Brad loves those kids and he doesn’t want to give up all the responsibility. He just wants Angelina to do her share and take up the slack. He and Angelina sat down and discussed this,” the source said.

The talk certainly seems to have worked wonders, for the source insists that Jolie has now started doing ‘more motherly things’ like taking the three older kids to school while Brad was in Montreal, as well as teaching the couple’s youngest daughter Shiloh to walk.

“Angelina is trying to do more motherly things. She’s heard the comments, not just from Brad but from his family as well. She’s a tough person, but this has gotten under her skin. So she’s trying to spend more quality time with the children,” the source said.

“Angelina seems to have realized that Brad has responsibilities, too. She says she wants to learn to cook, so that will free Brad up even more. She wants to show the world that she’s not insensitive to her own children. It’s only fair. Brad feels he’s done everything that Angelina wants. Now Angie’s even teaching Shiloh how to walk, and that makes Brad feel great!” the source added.

Pitt’s rep, however, insists that reports of the actor being the one with the lion’s share of the responsibilities are just not true.
