Angelina wants to be her kids' BFF

Los Angeles - Angelina Jolie wants to be her children's "friend" when they are teenagers.

The actress, who is currently raising six kids with fiance Brad Pitt, says she is "looking forward" to her brood reaching rebellious stages in their lives, though she knows it will be a "tough" time for the whole family.

"I am looking forward to [them being teenagers]. I am looking forward to them trying to pretend they are not doing anything wrong," Angelina said in a recent interview with OK! magazine.

"I'll be their friend and I'll be honest with them and I hope whatever they go through they can talk to me. That's the best I can do.

Girls walk over Brad

"I'll try to be as close to them as I am now. So when they get to the point they don't want to talk to me, they know deep down I love them and we have that relationship. It's tough for everyone those years."

Angelina, 37, admitted she is much less strict with her sons than daughters, while the girls can "walk all over" dad Brad, 48.

She told OK! magazine: "Brad is more lenient on the girls and I am more lenient on the boys. We can't quite figure out why that is.

"Maybe it's because I know women. It's Freudian. I see them and I recognise them - I will know what you are doing. So I think the girls will walk all over daddy and he is going to love it."
