Kim Kardashian is keeping it real about motherhood.
The reality star recently got candid about raising her kids—North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5—with ex-husband Kanye West, revealing that she wishes she can be a “stricter” parent like sister Khloe Kardashian, who shares daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 22 months, with ex Tristan Thompson.
“Sometimes, it just gets a little intense,” Kim admitted on the June 6 episode of The Kardashians. “I wanna be more strict like Khloe, but I don’t know why I have a hard time just saying no is no.”
In fact, the 43-year-old, who broke up with the rapper in 2021, admitted that she often caves to her children’s requests because she doesn’t “want to deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way.”
“They know when to con me,” Kim noted, explaining that her children will “start with the tears, so I’m like, ‘Stop, stop. Sure, take the iPad. Just stop.'”
And while the SKIMS mogul “will always be there for my kids,” she said that “to say it doesn’t take an emotional toll sometimes would be lying.”
