Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Single Parenthood
During an episode of Zoe Winkler’s ‘What in the Winkler?’ podcast, the Skims founder shared her experiences as a single mom. Kim expressed feelings of loneliness despite having a support system and shed light on the hectic mornings she faces with four kids. Kim Kardashian shares her children — North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5 — with Ye. The couple welcomed all four kids before their divorce in November 2022.
In the podcast, Kim revealed that she often refrains from discussing her struggles as a single mother due to assumptions about her resources. She emphasized that despite having help, she still feels the weight of raising four kids alone.
“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 shared.
Kim also described the chaos of her mornings getting her children ready for school.
“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 challenges, Kim expressed her love for taking her kids to school every morning as a top priority for bonding time.
“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.
