While promoting A Mighty Heart in the July issue of Esquire, Angelina Jolie, 32, shares why the non-linear development of her family works for her and her partner, Brad Pitt, splitting time with the kids, and the family's sleeping arrangements.
On having kids first: Some people have their lives together and then they have their children. Brad and I are starting with the children and are planning to have our time together in our later years.
Time for all the kids: I try to make sure that each of my children has enough of my attention to feel equal. I try to make sure that my relationship with the man in my life is solid and complete and we're very connected and having a great life together and enjoying our children and being part of the world. So that's my life.
Co-sleeping: Right now, Pax is sleeping in our bed. It's kind of nice, him immediately knowing and feeling comfortable with us. Mad slept with me until Brad and I got together. They're fun to sleep with. We have family sleep on Sundays. Everybody sleeps together.

On time off: Brad and I are lucky that we are in a position to take turns, and one of us can be home with the kids, and so we kind of have the plan of who is doing what...Basically we're going to try to take a year off and just be with the kids. So certainly, we're trying to find a few projects that we love or that we think would be good to do for one reason or the other. But mainly our focus is 'OK, lets look at our schedule, and try to figure out when we're going to have family time.'
Balancing it all: Brad and I have a lot of kids, and we want to have more kids. And they demand a lot of time. It takes a lot just to get all of them fed and clothed and out the door to different schools on time. Its fun, and we love it. But you cant balance everything. I think both of us only plan to work for a few more years. Well try to just stop sooner or later, so we can be home and travel, and just live.
What others think about her family doesn't matter: Whether peoples thoughts about my family are positive or negative, at the end of the day, I get to come home to these four little people who are the greatest things in the world.

They look great as always. I love to see them together, laughing, and being physical (holding hands, locking arms, etc.) with one another.
