Kim Kardashian Got Brutally Honest About Raising Four Kids As A Single Mom
In 2022, Ye revealed that Kim takes care of the kids 80 percent of the time while he covers the remaining 20 percent. Notably, Kim said during a Season 4 episode of The Kardashians that her older kids often compare her and Kanye’s parenting approaches, saying that their dad’s scaled-back home is “the best,” even though they spend less time with him.
After the aftermath of Kimye’s split, coparenting was a major source of contention between the exes. Since then, Kim has talked openly about balancing her busy schedule with the demands of motherhood.
In the latest episode of The Kardashians, the Skims founder opens up about reaching a breaking point without the “support” she needs.
Throughout the episode, Kim emphasizes that she struggles to set firm boundaries with her kids, saying: “I don’t know why I don’t have it in me to be super strict.”
During a phone call on her way to jury duty, Kim vents to a friend about her “troubling week” with the kids, confessing that she locked herself in the bathroom to escape them while attempting to complete an interview.
Admitting that it “sucks” that she doesn’t have “support,” Kim circles back to her struggles with strictness. Presumably referring to North, she tells her friend: “I took her phone, and after a day, I gave it to her. I’m such a pushover. But I took it for 24 hours.”
In her confessional, Kim doubles down on how Khloé can implement strict boundaries as a mom to her two kids, 6-year-old True and 1-year-old Tatum, who she shares with Tristan Thompson.
Last season, Kim was forced to acknowledge the assistance she receives from nannies and chefs in her home after facing backlash for saying on Jay Shetty’s podcast that she raises her kids “with no one there” to help.
“I think I’m still learning how to be a single parent,” she said during a Season 4 episode. “Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful. It’s all about family and enjoying these moments. It takes a village to raise kids, but at the end of the day, your kids only want you.”
She added: “The struggles that my kids go through really have nothing to do with the amount of help that I have.”
