Exclusive: “I Just Can’t Do It Anymore”: Kim Kardashian Got Brutally Honest About Raising Four Kids As A Single Mom After Her Divorce From Kanye West

“I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked… I’m open to anything at this point because I can’t live like this.”

Kim Kardashian got brutally honest about the difficulties of single motherhood after her divorce from Kanye West.

As I’m sure you’ll know, in the decade they were together, Kim and Ye welcomed four children: North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5. And since their 2021 split, Kim has been vocal about taking on the brunt of parenting duties as they navigate life as coparents.

In 2022, Ye revealed that Kim takes care of the kids 80 percent of the time while he covers the remaining 20 percent. Notably, Kim said during a Season 4 episode of The Kardashians that her older kids often compare her and Kanye’s parenting approaches, saying that their dad’s scaled-back home is “the best,” even though they spend less time with him.

After the aftermath of Kimye’s split, coparenting was a major source of contention between the exes. Since then, Kim has talked openly about balancing her busy schedule with the demands of motherhood.

In the latest episode of The Kardashians, the Skims founder opens up about reaching a breaking point without the “support” she needs.

“I am a single mom of four. And it is wild,” she says in her confessional. “I almost feel like my kids have this radar where they know that I’m doing something really important.”

Throughout the episode, Kim emphasizes that she struggles to set firm boundaries with her kids, saying: “I don’t know why I don’t have it in me to be super strict.”

“Neither one of my parents were strict. Khloé is a lot better at being stricter. I wish I was more like that,” she continues. “I’m just one person, and it’s overwhelming. Just, how do I go about doing this all?”

“I just can’t do it anymore. I just need to get away,” she says on the phone. “Anything in the home is just a little chaotic right now.”

“I had a Zoom interview 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 because I was just like, I can’t believe this. I mean, I can believe it, but that’s, like, my biggest nightmare,” she adds. “I’m open to anything at this point because I can’t live like this.”
