In between four kids, multiple jobs and law school, kim kardashian has a lot to balance — and things don’t always go to plan.
On a Thursday, June 6 episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder, 43, had a tough time balancing her work with caring for her four kids — Psalm, Chicago, Saint and North, whom she shares with ex kanye West, 46.
As she’s on the way to jury duty, Kardashian vents about how chaotic her household was that day.
“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,” the mom of four 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.
The scene switches to a confessional, where the multi-hyphenate says that she wants to try to be more strict like her sister Khloé Kardashian.
“Sometimes it gets just a little intense,” Kim 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.”
Continuing, Kim says that she’ll always be there for her kids, but notes that parenting does often take an emotional toll on her.
“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 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!'”
“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,’ ” Kim says. “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.
