Angelina is exhausted and stressed out from taking care of six kids

Exhausted, sleep deprived, and dissolving into tears every day- sounds like a normal day in the life of a mom with a pair of newborn twins and four other kids to care for. However, this is Angeline Jolie we’re talking about, so of course the tabloids have to ramp up the drama a notch. A source revealed that Jolie is being treated for stress and is having a hard time getting the twins on a schedule that allows her to rest.

It has been reported that Angelina is having a difficult time at home with the twins.

The Lara Croft actress is taking on her most challenging role yet, as mother to six children.

Sleep-deprived and emotional, Angelina is said to be receiving medical treatment for her stress.

A source tells Now, “She’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twice.

“She’s been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed.

“She’s also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy.”

The magazine also reports how the couple have hired help on hand at all times and are now looking for a nurse to stay for six weeks.

I don’t believe for a second that Angelina’s been left home alone in charge of all six kids. The couple said in their interview with People that they have help, although the nannies do not spend the night. We’ve seen Brad attending the Venice Film Festival with both Maddox and Pax in tow, and we’ve also seen him taking Shiloh and Zahara on outings. I’m sure Angelina’s focus right now is on taking care of the new babies. Her struggle to rest and produce enough milk to feed twins is similar to the challenges many new moms face. I highly doubt she’s in a bad enough state that doctors have had to give her medical treatment for stress. What exactly is the medical treatment for stress, anyway?
