Kim Kardashian has been vocal about the challenges of single motherhood since her divorce from Kanye West, particularly in balancing parenting duties with her busy schedule.
Kim has expressed struggles with setting firm boundaries with her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and feeling overwhelmed as a single mom of four, admitting to locking herself in the bathroom to escape them.
Despite receiving assistance from nannies and chefs, Kim emphasized that her kids’ struggles have nothing to do with the amount of help she has, highlighting the importance of being present as a parent.
Kim Kardashian got brutally honest about the difficulties of single motherhood after her divorce from Kanye West.
As I’m sure you’ll know, in the decade they were together, Kim and Ye welcomed four 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren: North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5. And since their 2021 split, Kim has been vocal about taking on the brunt of parenting duties as they navigate life as coparents.
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.
