Angelina Jolie Finds Raising Children a Challenge  12/12/06

Angelina Jolie attempts to provide her children with as normal a life as possible, but is still devastated they can't participate in some favorite childhood activities because of the paparazzi.

The star and her boyfriend Brad Pitt, have three children, Maddox, five; Zahara, 23 months; and Shiloh, six months and find raising children in the spotlight a challenge.

She explains, "I think that the only time that it is hard is when the kids want to go somewhere and want to see something.

"I've had so many people offer to take my children to Disneyland or places that I can't take them. And they don't understand how upsetting that is.

"People have offered to take my kids trick or treating or take my kids to whatever things that they assume my kids can't do.

"So we plan to find ways to do all of those things. There are worse problems and so we're okay."

The star and her family managed to celebrate Halloween (31OCT06) in their own unique way earlier this year (06) saying, "We were in India and so we had this really odd celebration at the hotel.

"We just had candy and costumes sent from the States and so we all dressed up. Z had a really big afro and Maddox had dreadlocks. We had some fun with dress-up!"
