Kim Kardashian, known for being a reality TV star, businesswoman, and lawyer in training, has opened up about the challenges of being a mom of four. In a recently released clip from her upcoming appearance on the "On Purpose with Jay Shetty" podcast, Kardashian spoke candidly about the challenges and rewards of parenting.
The Skims founder said that being a mom is her most challenging and rewarding job, despite the chaos and madness that comes with it. She agrees with the old saying, "the days are long and the years are short," especially when they are babies and there is madness going on.
Kardashian shares four children with her ex-husband, Kanye West, whom she wed in 2014 and divorced in 2022. In the clip, she admits that there are nights she cries herself to sleep. However, she also acknowledges that there are valuable lessons to be learned amid the chaos.
The challenges of playing "good cop and bad cop" and being firmer with her kids when they are fighting are some of the struggles she faces. However, her morning workouts help prepare her for the craziness of the day. Some nights, she goes hour by hour to see if they are going to survive.
Despite the challenges, Kardashian wouldn't trade being a mom for anything. She said, "it is the most challenging, rewarding job on this planet." According to her, parenthood has taught her more about herself than she could have ever anticipated. She advises that parents are never fully prepared, but they will figure it out and make themselves proud of getting through the day.
In summary, Kardashian's perspective on motherhood is one of both challenge and reward. While the days can be long and chaotic, the lessons learned and personal growth experienced make the job worth it.
