Kim Kardashian revealed that she often cries herself to sleep, while she tries to cope with her new life as a single mom, Media take Out has learned.
In an upcoming episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, The Kardashians star, 42, talked about raising her four kids she shares with ex Kanye West — daughters North, 9, and Chicago, 5, plus sons Saint, 7, and Psalm, 4.
The host Jay Shetty asked Kim what parenting is like for her now, versus what she thought it would be like before she had kids. And the SKIMS founder explained, saying, “Everyone says the days are long and the years are short, and that couldn’t be like a more true statement.”
“So, like, when you’re in it, I mean, especially when they’re babies and you’re feeding … there’s madness going on. It’s like full madness,” she continues. “It’s the best chaos though.”
Kim added, “It’s like I always have to do one of my daughter’s hair — and it has to be perfect and it has to be a certain way — and then this one needs me to put his shoes on and they all need you. … It’s like full crazy madness, cooking, running around. Like, it’s wild.”
Then Kim turned to the dark days of parenting. She told Shetty, 35, that “parenting is the thing that has taught me the most about myself.”
“It has been the most challenging thing,” she continues. “There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy sh!t, this f—ing tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?”
“You know, with all the moods and the personalities and sometimes they’re fighting, and you know, there’s no one there,” Kardashian adds. “Like, it’s [just] me to play good police officer and bad cop.”
Though she told Shetty that she is working on “being a little bit firmer” as a parent, Kardashian couldn’t help but admit, “Parenting is really f—ing hard.”
“That’s the only way I can describe it,” she says. “It is the most rewarding job in the entire world. It is. There is nothing that can prepare you. … I don’t care how long you wait. I don’t care what you’re waiting for. You are never prepared.”
Kardashian also opens up about how nights are in her home with her four kids, telling Shetty, “We are going hour by hour to see if we’re gonna survive night by night.”
