Celebrities are extremely unrelatable — until they have children. Kids humble us all, even A-list movie stars. For many of these famous parents, with all the traveling they do, the best way to see their kids is to bring them to work. It's something we've probably all done, only their "work" is a lot cooler than a boring office job.
Some of these stars have brought their kids along with them to award shows, movie sets, film premieres, and more. And for these little ones, it's just totally normal! But hey, we get those working parent problems and we're glad to see that many celebs have been able to strike a balance between work and spending time with their children. We're just jealous we don't get to go to movie premieres with Angelina Jolie, too!
