Kim Kardashian has admitted she doesn’t have ‘support’ when it comes to the struggles she faces raising her four children.
The reality star, 43, is mother to North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Pslam, five, who she shares with her ex-husband Kanye West.
The new episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians – entitled This Is Going to be Really Hot Tea – followed Kim as she was en route to jury duty, when she called a mystery friend and vented about her kids.Â
Kim admitted she’s a ‘pushover’ and wishes she could be ‘strict’ like her sister Khloe Kardashian, while revealing details about her chaotic home life.Â
Speaking to a friend on the phone, the media personality emotionally discussed struggling to control her children.Â

She said: ‘They know when to con me and when to throw the little, you know, start with the tears so I’m like, ‘Stop, stop, sure, take an iPad,’ you know, just stop.’
‘I just have to be like, ‘I don’t care if you’re gonna throw a tantrum in front of everyone right now. The answer is no,’ Kim added in confession.
She tells the mystery caller: ‘I don’t have that support and that really sucks and I know I really have to like get it together.’
She continued in confession: ‘You know, I’ll always be there for my kids and I’ll ride out anything with them, but to say that it doesn’t take an emotional toll sometimes, would be lying.’
Elsewhere during the chat, Kim said: ‘I just… anything in that home is just chaotic right now. Oh my God, no, what I wanted to say was I had a Zoom at the house with all my kids there, banging on the door, just screaming, and I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked as I was just like, I can’t believe this.Â
‘I mean I can believe it, but that’s like my biggest nightmare,’ she says to this mystery person.
She added: ‘Sometimes it gets just like a little intense. I want to be more strict like Khloe but I don’t know why I have a hard time just saying no is no. I think I also just don’t want to deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way.’
She told the mystery caller that she’s ‘open to anything at this point, because I just can’t live like this, like I’ve ran out of my patience and that what my like superpower was, calm and patience.’

‘This is so hard for me this week in that area,’ Kim told the caller, while adding: ‘Managing four kids and a household where they’re like not getting and they all want different things and I’m only one person. This always shuts them up.Â
‘I always say, ‘OK guys, do you want me to just cut myself in halves or in fours and a part will go with you and a part will go with you.’Â
‘And they like look at me like, ‘No don’t ever do that!’ And I’m like, ‘Well OK that’s the only option if you all want me at the same exact time. We’ve got to chill. I’ll put everyone to bed at a different time. We have to space this out.’
She added on the phone, ‘IÂ took her phone after a day I gave it to her, I’m such a pushover, but I took it for 24 hours.’
Kim ended the phone call as she arrived at her destination.Â
It comes after Kim and Kanye reunited on their 10th wedding anniversary to watch their daughter North perform as Young Simba at The Hollywood Bowl.Â
Exactly 10 years after their May 24, 2014 nuptials in Florence, Italy, the former couple reunited to support their eldest child as she made her acting debut – which caused controversy over claims of ‘nepo baby’ casting.Â
North played Young Simba at The Lion King’s 30th anniversary concert in Los Angeles on Friday, May 24, and received a standing ovation.

They both moved on romantically as well – Kim dated comedian Pete Davidson and Odell Beckham Jr. following the divorce, while Kanye tied the knot with Bianca Censori in December 2022.
Following a ‘rocky’ few years of co-parenting, Kim and Kanye have since figured out how to put their differences aside for the sake of their family.Â
A source told Us Weekly back in February that the pair have ‘really overcome those challenges’ and are now ‘able to communicate in a mature manner.’
‘Kim and Kanye may not always see eye to eye, but they have managed an amicable relationship based solely on their kids,’ an insider added.
They continued: ‘Kim knows that North has a happy relationship with Bianca [Censori] and that’s all that matters to her. What happens in their personal life is none of her business, just like she knows that Kanye doesn’t pry into her personal life either.’
Ultimately, the former couple feel they know ‘what is healthiest when it comes to their children’s lives’ and ‘share a lot of history together and will always be family.’
This means that they will continue to ‘attend the same events for their kids or get together.’
