Kim Kardashian may be one of the most famous women in the world. However, she’s also the mother of four young children. The reality TV star shares daughters North and Chicago, as well as sons Saint and Psalm, with her ex-husband, Kanye West. The Skims creator and the rapper may be divorced, but they co-parent the children together. That being said, Kardashian appears to be the parent who is in charge of the day-to-day activities of the kids. While she has proven that she has a lot on her plate and can handle multiple responsibilities, being a single mom is no easy task for Kim.
During the recent episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, she admitted that she reached a breaking point with her children. She was even forced to lock herself away to get some peace. On the show, Kardashian revealed that her children’s chaotic behavior was taking a toll on her. So, she locked herself in the bathroom to try to get some distance from the four kids.
Kim Kardashian Struggles With Life As A Single Mom
“I am a single mom of four, and it is wild,” she says. “I almost feel like my kids have this radar where they know that I’m doing something really important. I thought I was going to end up on an episode of Snapped yesterday,” she continued, adding that the situation was her “biggest nightmare” (via ET).
Kim Kardashian went on to say that she thinks her relaxed parenting style is likely to blame for her kids’ wild behavior. However, she admits that she just doesn’t have the energy to be more strict with the brood, although it may be controversial. Meanwhile, she credits her younger sister, Khloe Kardashian, for her more strict parenting style.
“I want to be more strict like Khloe, but I don’t know why I have a hard time just saying, ‘No is no.’ I think I also don’t want to deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way,” Kim stated. “They know when to con me and when to start with the tears so I’m like, ‘Stop, stop, sure, take an iPad, just stop!'”
Despite Kim Kardashian’s hectic and busy life, she says she’s never felt the need to seek therapy. Instead, she uses her close friends for support and advice. She credits her inner circle for helping her through the tough times, including her parenting woes.
“I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my friends. I have the best friends, and they’re super supportive,” Kardashian declares. “I think that’s probably why I’ve never seen a therapist is because I have the best friends in the entire world and they mean everything to me.”
Single parents everyone can likely relate to Kim Kardashian’s parenting confession. However, it seems that if she can’t find a way to control the chaos the children bring, she may find herself locked away in the bathroom more often.
