Angelina Jolie says taking her children to work made her "stressed".
The 'Maleficent' actress and her fiance Brad Pitt agreed to allow their six kids, Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and twins Vivienne and Knox, five, to visit them while making movies, but wanted them to have an honest portrayal of what life is like on a film set.
However, after just two days with the kids close by, the couple wanted the children to find new ways to entertain themselves.
She said: "Brad and I made the decision that we wouldn't keep them from sets and the fun of making movies, but we wouldn't [glorify it either].
"We wouldn't make it a good thing or a bad thing. But I would really prefer they do something else. After two days of it, Brad and I were so stressed we never wanted to do it again."
Angelina's youngest daughter appears in 'Maleficent' as young Princess Aurora and the actress thought she was perfect for the role as Vivienne is so devoted to her, she wouldn't be intimidated by her scary character.
Angelina explained to the new edition of America's Elle magazine: "For young Aurora, they needed a child who wouldn't be fazed by the Mistress of All Evil hissing, 'I don't like children' in her face.
"And my little Vivienne - we call her my shadow, because there's nothing I can do to shake her. I can be tired, I can be grumpy, I can be in a terrible mood, and she doesn't care. It's 'Mommy, Mommy,' and she'll cling to me.
"We knew that she would still do that thing, she'd still smile at me and insist that I pick her up. So we couldn't really cast anybody else."
The role was initially offered to the couple's older daughter Shiloh, but the tomboy insisted she would rather play a "horned creature" instead.
Angelina added: "I asked Shiloh about being Aurora, and she laughed in my face."

Courtney Love turned down a night with Russell Brand.
The 49-year-old rocker - who was famously married to late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain until his death in 1994 - has claimed she spurned the comedian's advances because of his "musky" stench.
Appearing on British talk show 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man', which airs tonight (09.05.14), she recalled: "When we were friends, he tried to hit on me. He goes, 'I have had a lot of grand conversations, darling, but none of them have ended in an orgasm. Can we go in a room?'
"I said to him, 'Russell, you are too musky for me, man.' He is a little musky. We did yoga together and the musk was there."
While Courtney refused to be a notch on Russell's list of sexual conquests, the pair remain friendly and she even thinks of him as a British "national treasure".
The star added: "I do think he is a national treasure. God, I wish I was as good as him. He flirts with men openly too."
While the Hole singer wasn't won over by Russell, she has previously fallen for the charms of another British comedian, 'Alan Partridge' creator Steve Coogan, admitting she was smitten with him because of his portrayal of Factory Records boss Tony Wilson in 2002 movie '24 Hour Party People'.
Speaking some time after their fling, she has previously said: "All it was, was a couple of sh**s at the Sunset Marquis [hotel in Los Angeles,] and I did not know he was Alan Partridge.
"I thought he was Tony Wilson in '24 Hour Party People' - somebody I'd always had a daddy thing for. I had never seen 'Alan Partridge'. But I was in a band with people who did know about Alan Partridge, so I had to make a record with them constantly saying to me, 'Back of the net!' "
Russell, 39, was wed to 'Roar' hitmaker Katy Perry between 2010 and 2012, and is currently dating Jemima Khan.

Noel Gallagher's daughter has secured her first job as a TV presenter.
The 46-year-old rocker's 14-year-old daughter Anaïs, from his first marriage to interior designer Meg Matthews, has been hired by UK children's channel CBBC to present the 'Friday Download' series, giving advice on fashion and style to viewers.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Bosses see great potential in Anaïs. She auditioned and was an instant hit.
"Anaïs is a quick learner and very natural on screen. Of, course her connections played a part."
The aspiring TV star will join a number of other young presenters on the show, including 18-year-old singer Dionne Bromfield, who will return for a second series.
Anaïs mother is said to be encouraging her daughter to pursue a career in television, and CBBC are reportedly keen to help the youngster to become a regular face on the network.
The sourced added: "All going well they could develop her within the company as a future star.
Although Anaïs has no previous television experience, the young blonde has worked as a presenter for fashion store Claire's Accessories' website, which involved filming alongside 'Wild Heart' hitmakers The Vamps.

Antonio Banderas says fighting comes "naturally" to him.
The 53-year-old actor, who plays Galgo in 'The Expendables 3', insists it was easy for him to slip into character and his love of sport helps in action roles which require "certain abilities".
Talking to collider.com, he explained: "I have a rifle, and I use a lot of fighting skills that I learned years ago. I tried to do as much as I could. I have certain abilities. I think I am good in the department of body language and fighting, and stuff like that.
"It's just natural to me, maybe because I love sports. As long as you have a good choreographer for that, and we did, it's relatively easy to get into that world, for me."
Banderas admits he questions the roles he gets as he ages but, at the same time, he enjoys taking on the challenge.
He added: "You have to be in good shape, basically. And then, you have to have a certain craziness, if you're going to do some of the action things. I did something that I shouldn't have done. I'm in my 60s now, and just running almost 50 meters with explosives going on, it was kind of like, 'Oh, my god! What am I doing here?' The whole entire building was shaking, and stuff like that.
"But, you do it. At the same time, I just wanna do it if I have the possibility of laughing a little bit at myself."

Will Ferrell is planning a 'Flintstones' remake. The 'Anchorman' star and his comedy co-writer Adam McKay are working on a new animated big screen version of the classic cartoon via their production company, Gary Sanchez. The duo have enlisted the he...

Emmerdale's Cain Dingle will turn into a "Bridezilla".
Jeff Hordley plays the character who is set to tie the knot to Moira Barton (Natalie J. Robb) on May 15 and insists his character has been stepping out his "comfort zone" to help plan the wedding and has become a controlling groom-to-be.
The actor explained: "This is all new territory for Cain, and it's quite nice to see him out of his comfort zone. He's been organising the wedding - something he's never done before - so he's turned into a bit of a Bridezilla!"
Jeff has hinted the big day might not run smoothly afterall and insisted there is always "trouble" at soap weddings since viewers enjoy watching drama unfold.
He told InsideSoap magazine: "If you get the right storyline and the right characters together, then the viewers will invest in their journey. Births, marriages and deaths all attract an audience. Families are bought together at a wedding, so there's always trouble - and everybody likes a good punch up, don't they?"
Cain and Moira's romance kicked off in 2011, when she was still married to her late husband John (James Thornton), while Cain was previously jilted by Charity (Emma Atkins).

Anton Du Beke joined 'Strictly Come Dancing' because of Sir Bruce Forsyth.
The professional dancer has appeared on the show alongside the 86-year-old presenter since it began in 2004 and admitted that Bruce - who has now retired from the series - was one of the main reasons behind his decision to take part.
Anton described his friendship with Sir Bruce as an "honour" and insists they will remain friends even now he is no longer on the programme.
The 47-year-old star exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Well I love him because one of the reasons in the early days for me to do 'Strictly Come Dancing' was because Bruce Forsyth was hosting it. What's lovely for me is that I've become friends with Brucie, we play a lot of golf and I spend a bit of time with him. And that for me is an honour and a treat. It's one of those things in life that I couldn't really wish for."
He added: "I've been very lucky that I've spent time with Brucie and of course I'm going to miss him but he's still my friend and I'm still going to see him. I'll still continue to lose money to him on the golf course."
Although Anton - who can be seen on Channel 4's new game show 'Draw It!' tonight (09.05.14) - is yet to be informed by producers if he is returning to the series this year, he admitted he would consider hanging up his dance shoes to follow in Bruce's footsteps and co-host the show if the opportunity were to present itself.
When asked if he would like to host the series with Tess Daly, he said: "I just wait for the phone to ring and see what they offer me. I don't really give it any thought and then you're never disappointed. It's like all these things unfortunately - it's sort of out of my hands.
"I found that in my life as a dancer and competitor you can only control the things you are involved in. The show is the show and on it goes."
'Draw It!' is on Channel 4 every week day at 4.30pm

Metallica say deciding to headline Glastonbury was a "no-brainer".
The heavy metal band have been confirmed as the third and final festival headliner, joining Kasabian and Arcade Fire on Worthy Farm's Pyramid Stage, and claim they jumped at the chance to close the line-up on Saturday, June 28.
Drummer Lars Ulrich told Zane Lowe during a BBC Radio 1 interview: "To be honest with you, we didn't sit around and have a big conversation when the call came.
"In Metallica we have a saying called a 'no-brainer'. Headlining Glastonbury is a no-brainer. We didn't need to sit around thinking about the pros and cons."
The group are the first metal band to ever headline the festival in its 44-year history and fans have had mixed reactions to the announcement.
One wrote on Twitter, "Glastonbury is probably the only festival that could have Beyonce headline one year and Metallica another", while another far less enthusiastic festival-goer lamented, "Buzzing for Metallica at Glastonbury. Said no one ever."
But Lars is confident the band can convert new fans with their aggressive, thrash metal sound and will do their best to appeal to the masses.
He said: "Trust your friendly neighbourhood Metallica, we'll put something suitable together. It's great that, 32 years into our career, we're still able to knock down doors - doors we didn't think were open to us."
Metallica - who were rumoured to be headling earlier this month - made the announcement last night (08.05.14) by writing on Twitter: "Worst kept secret in rock and roll is now confirmed... see you at @GlastoFest on June 28th! #MetOnTour."
Meanwhile, Skrillex, Jake Bugg and Massive Attack have also been confirmed to play on the Other Stage.

Katie Price has banished Kieran Hayler to a log cabin at the bottom of her garden.
The glamour model is punishing her husband by making him sleep in the shed at the edge of her £2.5 million home after discovering he was having a "full blown sexual affair" with her married best friend, Jane Pountney.
Kieran - who is the father of her nine-month-old son Jett as well as the pregnant star's unborn baby - has been subjected to a worse fate than Katie's former exes since she moved both Alex Reid and Leandro Penna to plush guest bedrooms following the breakdown of their relationships.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Katie had the cabin built for [her 12-year-old son] Harvey for when he grows up. But now she has suggested Kieran stays there while she figures everything out.
"In the end, she ended up throwing Leo and Alex out, but at the moment it looks like Kieran is getting the long stay car park treatment for now.
"She is feeling very vulnerable and is at a real loss. It is all so sad. By having Kieran in the log cabin, it gives her the space to sort her head out and keep tabs on what he is doing."
Meanwhile, Katie - who is also a mother to Junior, seven, and six-year-old Princess Tiaamii - is determined to divorce the builder after discovering he might have had a second fling with none other than Prince Harry's on/off girlfriend Cressida Bonas' cousin.
The 35-year-old reality star confronted Kieran's ex April Bonas over the phone about rumours she had cheated with him just days before the couple's romantic beach wedding last year.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "Katie and April spoke on the phone and she asked outright if she had slept with Kieran while they were together.
"April admitted they'd had a fling in the past, but was adamant that nothing had happened during Kieran's relationship with Katie.
"Katie quizzed April about everything she knew about what Kieran was doing before their wedding."
Kieran has reportedly reached out to Jane's husband Derrick Pountney - who has claimed the infidelity was just a "storm in a teacup" - for help persuading Katie to forgive him.

Gwyneth Paltrow wants to end the "mommy wars".
The 'Iron Man' actress caused outrage when she appeared to suggest being a Hollywood mother was a far tougher job than being a regular 9-5 desk job mum during a recent interview, and has now taken to her website Goop to defend her comments and encourage women to "cut each other some slack".
Gwyneth - who has nine-year-old daughter Apple and eight-year-old son Moses with her estranged husband Chris Martin - wrote: "A few weeks ago during an interview, I was asked why I have only worked on one film a year since having children. My answer was this: Film work takes one away from home and requires 12-14 hours a day, making it difficult to be the one to make the kids their lunch, drive them to school, and put them to bed.
"So I have found it easier on my family life to make a film the exception, and my 9-5 job the rule. This somehow was taken to mean I had said a 9-5 job is easier, and a lot of heat was thrown my way, especially by other working mothers who somehow used my out-of-context quote as an opportunity to express feelings (perhaps projected) on the subject.
"As the mommy wars rage on, I am constantly perplexed and amazed by how little slack we cut each other as women."
The 41-year-old star wants mothers to stop criticising each other for their parenting styles and voicing negative opinions because they're all doing the same difficult job.
She concluded: "We see disapproval in the eyes of other mothers when we say how long we breastfed (Too long? Not long enough?), or whether we have decided to go back to work versus stay home.
"Is it not hard enough to attempt to raise children thoughtfully, while contributing something, or bringing home some (or more) of the bacon? Why do we feel so entitled to opine, often so negatively, on the choices of other women? Perhaps because there is so much pressure to do it all, and do it all well all at the same time (impossible)."

Diana Vickers was told by an ex-boyfriend she had "really bad breath."
The singer and actress, who is fronting a campaign for Wrigley's Extra chewing gum, admits she was told by a boy when she was younger her breath didn't smell great when he kissed her.
Diana, who is now dating musician George Craig, told BANG Showbiz: "My first kiss was a bit awkward and he could have done with some chewing gum [and] I do remember when I was younger I had a boyfriend who was horrible to me.
"I had a massive crush on him and we were dating and he used to say I had really bad breath. If only I'd known about Wrigley's. It's fine now and George doesn't complain."
The 22-year-old star also used to be self conscious about smiling during photographs when she was younger because she didn't like her teeth and is now fronting the campaign as part of National Smile Month.
She said: "I went through a phase when I was a bit younger of being really embarrassed about my smile, I used to think I had little bunny teeth, but now I'm embracing it so I always put on my best smile on the red carpet."
Meanwhile, Diana and George, who fronts the band One Night Only, have been together for more than three years and they are very happy together.
She said: "We're doing really well, it's three and a half years now. Going strong, he's a babe, I'm very happy."
