Gwyneth plugs up to keep her sanity

If you’re anything like me you’ll have been surrounding on occasion by what can only be described as “screaming kids” and wished you had some earplugs on you.

Well, Gwyneth Paltrow agrees with us. Except that she’s taken things to the next level and admitted that she wears earplugs to drown out her own kids.

The actress, married to miseryguts singer Chris Martin, admits that her pretentiously-monickered offspring Moses and Apple can be so noisy that she   has to tune them out or risk losing her mind.

She was quoted this week as saying: "You just have to wear earplugs sometimes.

“(They have) all these toys that make noise and instead of smashing the toys when I haven't slept and, like, lose my mind, I just put on headphones or ear plugs... and pretend they're not there."

Good on you, Gwynny. I can think of a future teachers who wish they could follow suit...
