In the latest Thursday episode of the fifth season of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian shared how she is dealing with parenting four kids especially when their father is not always available to help out. The reality TV star has four kids whom she shares with her ex-husband, Kanye West.
Raising four kids with an absentee and clout-chasing father has proven to be a big deal for the skim’s founder particularly when they start shouting. Recall that her mother Kris Jenner admitted in the last season that her strategy for raising her six kids was to drink alcohol every morning before nine.
But Kim Kardashian didn’t want any of that before she ends up in rehab and opted for another approach. Her approach was hiding out in the bathroom to avoid being strict with the children. In the episode, the mother of four was seen on a call during a car ride when she said, “It’s just a little chaotic right now. Oh my God, no, what I wanted to say was that I had a Zoom interview at my house with all the kids there.”
“ They were banging on the door, just screaming and I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked and I was just like, ‘I can’t believe this.” According to her, she didn’t grow up with strict parents and so finds it difficult to completely say no to the kids but that is not the case with her sister Khloe.
Comparing her parenting method to Khloe’s, Kim Kardashian said, “Sometimes it gets just a little intense. I wanna 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 wanna deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way.” She added: “They know when to con me and when to start with the tears so that I’m like, ‘Stop, stop, sure, take an iPad. Just stop’.”
The mother of four is open to suggestions on how she can help tame her kids as it is incredibly difficult to control them, particularly when they want different things. Again, parenting with their father also makes the job difficult as he always looks for ways to frustrate her.
