Balancing four kids, multiple jobs, and law school is no small feat, as Kim Kardashian reveals in a June 6 episode of The Kardashians. The SKIMS founder, 43, shared the chaos of her daily life, particularly on a day she was heading to jury duty while managing her four children — Psalm, Chicago, Saint, and North, whom she shares with ex Kanye West.
On the way to her jury duty, Kardashian vented about the hectic morning she experienced. “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,” she 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.”
Expressing her frustration, Kim added, “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.”
In a confessional, Kardashian expressed her desire to be stricter with her kids, much like her sister Khloé Kardashian. “Sometimes it gets just a little intense,” she admits. “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.”
She further elaborates on the challenges of parenting, saying, “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.’ 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.’”
Despite the struggles, Kim emphasizes her commitment to her children, though she acknowledges the emotional toll it takes. “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,” she shares. “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!’”
Kim continues, “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.’ I’ll put everyone to bed at a different time. We have to space this out.”
New episodes of The Kardashians drop Thursdays at 12 a.m. ET on Hulu.
