Kim Kardashian has recently opened up about the overwhelming challenges she faces as a single mother of four while managing a bustling career. In a candid conversation during the latest episode of “The Kardashians,” the 43-year-old reality star shared her struggles with a friend over the phone, revealing the difficulties of balancing her professional life and parenting duties without any external support.
Kardashian, who shares her children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West (now known as Ye), described a particularly chaotic incident that she referred to as her “biggest nightmare.” She recounted how she had to lock herself in a bathroom to conduct an important Zoom interview while her kids were banging on the door and screaming. “I had a Zoom interview at home with all my kids there, banging on the door, just screaming,” she said. “And I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked. I was just like, ‘I can’t believe this.'”
The Skims mogul admitted that she has reached a point where she is open to any solutions because she can’t continue living in such chaos. “I ran out of patience, and that’s what my superpower was, being calm and patient,” she confessed.
During a confessional segment of the episode, Kardashian revealed that she finds it challenging to enforce strict rules with her children. “Sometimes it gets just a little intense. I want to be more strict like Khloé, but I don’t know why I have a hard time just saying, ‘No is no,'” she said, referring to her older sister Khloé Kardashian, who shares children True and Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson.
Kardashian admitted that she often gives in to her children’s demands to avoid dealing with their whining and tears. “They know when to con me,” she explained. “They will start with the tears, so I’m like, ‘Stop, stop. Sure, take the iPad. Just stop.'”
Back in May, Kardashian also spoke about the emotional toll of parenting during an episode of the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast. She revealed that the stress of managing her children’s moods and personalities sometimes leaves her crying herself to sleep. “There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy shit, this fucking tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?” she said. “With all the moods and the personalities and sometimes they’re fighting, and you know, there’s no one there. Like, it’s just me to play good police officer and bad cop.”
Despite the challenges, Kardashian continues to juggle her responsibilities as a single mother, a law student, and a business mogul. New episodes of “The Kardashians” air Thursdays on Hulu, offering viewers a glimpse into her hectic life.
In related news, Kardashian’s interactions with other celebrities have also been making headlines. Swifties recently criticized Lana Del Rey for cozying up to Kardashian at the Met Gala, and Kardashian’s photo with Karlie Kloss sparked further reactions from Taylor Swift’s fans. Additionally, Kourtney Kardashian shared that her son Rocky has never been in his crib, adding another layer to the Kardashian family’s parenting dynamics.
Kardashian’s candid revelations about her parenting struggles highlight the complexities of balancing a high-profile career with the demands of raising four children. Her openness about her challenges and vulnerabilities offers a relatable perspective for many parents facing similar situations.
