Kim Kardashian gets vulnerable in the latest episode of The Kardashians when she has an emotional breakdown as she hides from her kids in the bathroom during a work call. The SKIMS founder has four children: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm whom she shares with her ex-husband Kanye West.
In the episode of the beauty mogul's family reality television show which stars her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner, she got real on how working at home while her children are there is a feat that any mom can relate to.
“Oh my God. No, what I wanted to say was that I had a Zoom interview at the house with all my kids there banging on the door, just screaming,” Kim recalls. “And I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked. And I was just like, ‘I can't believe this.' I mean, I can believe it.'”
“I'm open to anything at this point because I can't live like this. I ran out of patience and that's what my superpower was, being calm and patient,” she adds.
Switching over to a confessional, Kim explains how her children will act sometimes as kids often do and how it is hard to keep the house afloat.
“Managing four kids in a household when they're like, not getting along and they all want different things. And I'm only one person,” Kim says. “This always shuts them up. I always say, ‘Okay guys, do you want me to just cut myself in half or in fours and a part will go with you, a part would go with you,' and they look at me like, ‘No, don't ever do that!'”
“And I'm like, ‘Well, that's the only option if you all want me at the exact same time, you've got to chill,' ” she adds. “I'll put everyone to bed at a different time. We have to space this out.”
She then compares her parenting to her younger sister Khloe who has two children with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson. She praises Khloe who is more “stricter” in her parenting tactics.
“Sometimes it gets just a little intense,” Kim later shares in the confessional. “I want to be more strict like Khloé 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.”
“They know when to con me and when to throw the little, you know, start with the tears so that I'm like, ‘Stop, stop. Sure. Take your iPad, you know, just stop,' ” the mom of four reveals. “I just have to be like, ‘I don't care if you're gonna throw a tantrum in front of everyone. The answer is no.”
What Has Kim Kardashian Said About Motherhood?
This is not the first time that Kim has intimately shared the struggles of motherhood.
Kardashian told Jay Shetty on his podcast that “parenting is the thing that has taught me the most about myself.”
“It has been the most challenging thing,” she said. “There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy s***, this f****** tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?”
Kim continued: “You know, 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.”
However, she said that motherhood while hard is “rewarding.”
“That's the only way I can describe it. It is the most rewarding job in the entire world. It is. There is nothing that can prepare you,” Kardashian said. “I don't care how long you wait. I don't care what you're waiting for. You are never prepared. But you will figure it out, and it will make you so proud of yourself that you figured it out and that you got through the day.”
New episodes of The Kardashians air Thursdays at 12 a.m. ET on Hulu.
