Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt are not taking a hands-off approach to celebrity parenting, according to pals.

Friends claim that the couple and their growing brood do without a nanny or home help - and have the fingerprint-covered walls to prove it.One friend says, "they don't give a f**k what the world thinks of how they're raising their kids."

Rather than leaving the kids with a sitter and going out to parties or premieres, Brad and Ange apparently stay at home with the kids every weekend and only employ a cook and security staff – mainly so the children do not hurt themselves.

The superstar parents reportedly plan to relocate the Jolie-Pitt clan back to Brad’s pad in the Hollywood Hills in the coming months.A happy home is a messy home!

This will be their second W spread as a couple. Surely you recall their controversial "Domestic Bliss" photo spread (shot by photog Steven Klein) featuring Brad and Angelina pretending to be a married couple for the July 2005 issue. Of course, that was back when they were just friends, and the photo shoot was supposed to be publicizing their movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

Instead, it telegraphed the very open splintering of Brad's marriage to Jennifer Aniston and his blossoming and very close relationship with Jolie.It's worth noting that Angie gave Brad a Littman 45 Single camera for a recent birthday gift.
