AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian has frequently opened up about her experience with motherhood, shedding light on the beauty and struggles that come with raising a family. Most recently, the reality star and entrepreneur shared a melancholic reflection that beautifully captures the bittersweet reality many parents face.
"The sad part about motherhood is that you're raising the one person you can't live without...to be able to live without you," she shared the heartfelt quote on her Instagram Stories.
As a single mother to four children - North, 11, Saint, who will turn nine in December, Chicago, who will celebrate her seventh birthday in December, and Psalm, five - Kardashian deals with unique parenting challenges.
In a May 2023 interview with Jay Shetty on his "On Purpose" podcast, she revealed the difficulties of navigating parenthood without a partner. "Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful… But at the end of the day, your kids only want you," she confided.
Kim also discussed the emotional toll parenting can sometimes take, confessing, "There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, what just happened?" She explained that the children's various moods and personalities could be overwhelming. "It's (up to) me to play good cop and bad cop," she remarked, emphasizing the dual roles she has to fulfill.
Motherhood has profoundly impacted Kardashian, a feeling she echoed in a Mother's Day questionnaire shared on her app and website. "The most rewarding part about being a mom is when my kids tell me they love me," she said. "Having kids has changed my soul! You learn so much about yourself from being a parent and you care more about the world you are raising your kids in."
In addition to celebrating her own role as a mother, Kim always makes sure to honor her mother, Kris Jenner. "I'm thankful for my mom because she showed me how I want to be a mom," she shared, reaffirming the deep bond they share.
Looking back on raising her children, she acknowledged the challenges but also the deeply rewarding moments that make it all worthwhile. Despite the struggles, Kardashian has embraced every aspect of motherhood, all while navigating a highly public life and maintaining her multitude of business ventures.
