Kim Kardashian: ‘I’m Doing It By Myself” Raising Kids Alone’
Written by MAX FM on November 14, 2024
Kim Kardashian recently shared the challenges of raising four kids as a single mom. In a November 12 appearance on Zoe Winkler’s ‘What in the Winkler?’ podcast, she discussed parenting North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, without the support of her ex-husband, Ye (formerly Kanye West).
Despite having a strong support system, Kim revealed that she often feels like she’s handling everything alone. Kim explained she doesn’t often discuss the struggles of single motherhood because people assume she has all the resources. ‘But sometimes, in the middle of the night, when they’re all in your bed, kicking you, crying, and waking up,’ she said. ‘I don’t talk about it much because there’s always judgment. People think I have nannies and help, but no matter the help, I’m still raising four kids by myself.’
Kim also shared a glimpse into her hectic mornings. With four children to get ready for school, mornings are a whirlwind of activity. ‘Even this morning, during carpool, I had five kids to take, and everyone wanted to leave at different times and had different requests,’ she explained. ‘It feels like I’m at a pitstop, brushing my teeth, getting dressed, and doing my hair—all at once!’
Despite the chaos, Kim said that one part of the day she truly cherishes is driving her kids to school. ‘That’s my bonding time,’ she said. ‘I make it a priority no matter what my work schedule is.’
Kim also touched on how her kids are pushing her to date again. On ‘The Tonight Show’, Kim joked that her kids, especially Saint, are trying to set her up. ‘It’s funny because they’re ready now, and I’m not,’ she said. Saint has specifically asked her to date a ‘basketball player or soccer player,’ to which Kim playfully replied, “If he only knew!’
While navigating motherhood without Ye, Kim prioritizes her love for her kids and being present in their lives. Despite the challenges, she remains determined to make it work and finds strength in the moments she shares with them daily.
