Throughout the years as cinema transcended from being a world of fairytales to a more relatable space, it applauded strong female leads. Often in the guise of single mothers, these women handled everything from a nine-to-five job to a child puking on their shoes with a composure that most single mothers in the real world describe as unrealistic. This is why a reality TV show like Keeping Up with the Kardashians where Kris Jenner often breaks down while fretting over her children has managed to be a hit across the decade. And Kim Kardashian stuck true to her reality TV star image as she got real about being a single parent.

From stunning in a vintage Marilyn Monroe dress at the MET Gala to sitting courtside at the Lakers game, the SKIMS owner has a knack for making things seem fabulously feasible. But no matter how good she gets, the plight of being a single parent is unforgiving even towards a star like her.

In a preview video of the latest On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast episode, the reality TV star broke any fairytales of parenting being easy as she described it as “really f**king hard,” and, “There are nights I cry myself to sleep.”

The SKIMS owner, after divorcing Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West in 2021, has taken care of her four kids by herself. While they have equal custody over the kids, it is Kim Kardashian who comes running at their beck and call.

The 42-year-old Kardashian is the mother of North West, Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West. And given the closeness of their ages, one can only imagine the chaos that ensues in the morning before school days. According to Kim Kardashian, “It’s wild.” But it does not just end there for the mother of four.

Kim Kardashian is the good cop AND the bad cop for her kids

This shows that Kim Kardashian can joke all she wants about being a mother, millionaire, law student, and billionaire, but not even one of them is an easy task. Especially being a mother. The reality TV star got real about being the good and the bad cop in their lives.

If the TikTok account that she shares with her daughter or Saint West’s Mother’s Day message is anything to go by, then Kim Kardashian seems to be doing a brilliant job as a mother. There are not many cases that you find where a mother calls home your favorite artists simply because you like them. But it is all in a day’s work for Kim Kardashian who, as she loves to remind us, is a “mother, millionaire, law student, and billionaire.”
