Kim Kardashian Shares Insights on the Realities of Single Parenthood

The founder of Skims did not shy away from sharing her experiences as a single mom during the November 12 episode of Zoe Winkler’s podcast, ‘What in the Winkler?’. Kardashian expressed that while she benefits from a strong support network, she often grapples with feelings of isolation, particularly during her hectic mornings managing four children. Her family consists of North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, with all four kids arriving before her divorce from Ye in November 2022, highlighting the complexities of co-parenting.

According to E! News, Kim Kardashian conveyed to Zoe during the podcast that she seldom discusses her emotions related to single motherhood, as many people presume she has all the necessary resources at her disposal. Nevertheless, she continues to feel the weight of raising her children essentially on her own, emphasizing the emotional toll it can take.

“But sometimes in the middle of the night when they’re all sleeping in your bed kicking you and crying and waking up — it’s not something that I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, ‘Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help.’ And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, basically raising four kids by myself,” Kardashian explained.

In addition, Kim elaborated on the chaos of her mornings as she prepares her children for school, revealing the frantic pace of her daily routine.

“I mean, even carpool this morning, I had five kids that I had to take, two came over, and everyone leaves and wants to leave at like, different times and wants different stuff,” she explained. “I feel like I’m at, like, a pitstop of a racecar driver, when it’s like, ‘Brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, OK, get dressed, get dressed, do your hair.’”

Despite the whirlwind that comes with her parenting duties, Kim shared her delight in taking her children to school each morning. She prioritizes these moments, viewing them as valuable opportunities to connect with her kids amidst her busy schedule, as reported by PageSix.

“That’s what’s really important to me… driving them to school every single day is just what I have to do no matter what my work schedule is. That’s just, like, my bonding time. That’s when I can get them up, get ready, but it’s madness,” she continued.
