I've seen many pics of the Brangelina kids going to school and going to children's parties, I think they have as normal a life as a kid can in that situation. And for the most part, they look healthy, happy and normal, the same cannot be said for Suri.

I read this often about the Brangelina kids, it seems the more people write it, they actually believe it. I have seen pics of Suri and her friends. I don't know what about her would not be normal, happy and healthy.

The difference between Suri and Brad and Angelina's kids is that Suri is being raised in Scientology. Depending on how you feel about Scientology that could be a major difference and detriment with regards to Suri's overall well being. Other than that it's conjecture, but based on pap pics alone another difference between the two families is that Suri if often taken on non-child friendly outings with a bunch of adults, sometimes late at night, while Brad and Angelina's kids are more often seen doing fun activities enjoying the company of their siblings. Overall Brad and Angie's family seem happier and healthier from the outside looking in.

Brangelina's kids aren't used as PR props. They're dressed in seasonally appropriate clothing. They aren't dragged to late events like Beyonce concerts (without hearing protection!) or age-inappropriate Broadway shows. They're able to be kids.

I don't think I've ever seen photos of Suri with any "friends" outside of a couple of pics of her with the kid who played Caroline Kennedy on the set of that awful miniseries Katie did. Where are these photos?

As to the Jolie-Pitt kids, I know what I see with my own eyes and that's happy kids. I'm not convincing myself of anything.

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Suri just playing with or even near a kid her own age.

Somehow I just can't picture Suri as being the kind of playmate I'd want for a child of mine. I can't see her entering into games or sharing toys. I picture her as throwing the whole Candyland game all over the room if she lost and yelling, "No! Mine!" a lot. I wonder if she has any imagination at all.

I also do not think I'm just convincing myself that the Brangelina kids are happy. There are many, many, many reasons to dislike the two of them, but their kids (to me) are definitely not one of them.

With TomKat, there are also many, many, many, many, MANY, reasons to dislike them, and for me their treatment of Suri is right up on the top. I feel like she's the only good PR they've got going for them, so come hell or high water, they are going to drag her anywhere there's a camera, no matter the time of day, the appropriateness of the venue, or whether she's scared/tired/upset. They are, once again to me, hands down the worst celebrity parents that have never been called out on it. Are they worse than Charlie Sheen? No, but he's been called out on it by mainstream media, the Cruise's have not.

Popsugar has pictures of Shiloh walking around with her blanket and sucking her thumb and they're nearly the same age, aren't they?

These kids of Brangelina are fucked up even more. Fortunately they have siblings otherwise they would be in a social isolation.

I'm curious - do have anything to back up this claim?

I wonder who would be allowed to play with Suri. She's the Clam crown princess. I don't see regular Clam children being around her, no matter how high they've gotten in the program. I bet she's very isolated. I remember those pictures of her in Central Park and she didn't know what to do at the playground. That's not normal. Maybe things will be different once Suri grows up, but I doubt it. Her upbringing seems totally different from her older sibs.

I think even if the Jolie-Pitt kids consisted of just Maddox & Zahara, those kids would still hang out with other kids. We've seen pictures of them with other celebs' kids and non-celeb kids. They go to school when possible.

The picture that always sticks out in my mind is Suri having an animated conversation with a doll while her mother shopped. It was cute.

But no, I've never seen her anywhere near a child her own age.
