Kim Kardashian Breaks Down After Hiding in Bathroom From Kids During Work Call

Balancing four kids, multiple jobs, and law school is a significant challenge for Kim Kardashian, and things sometimes take work.

On the Thursday episode of ‘The Kardashians’, the 43-year-old SKIMS founder struggled to manage her work and care for her children—Psalm, Chicago, Saint, and North—whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, 46. While heading to jury duty, Kardashian expressed frustration over the chaos at home that morning.

“Oh my God. No, what I wanted to say was that I had a Zoom interview at the house with all my kids there, banging on the door, just screaming,” she recalls. “I was hiding in a bathroom with the door locked, thinking, ‘I can’t believe this.’ Well, I can believe it.”

“I’m open to anything at this point because I can’t live like this. I ran out of patience, and that used to be my superpower—being calm and patient,” she adds. In a confessional, the multi-hyphenate reveals her desire to be more strict, like her sister Khloé Kardashian.

“Sometimes it gets just a little intense,” Kim admits. “I want to be more strict like Khloé, but I struggle to just say, ‘No is no.’ I don’t want to deal with the whining and tears from them not getting their way.” “They know when to con me and when to start crying so that I give in,” Kim explains. “I have to be firm and say, ‘I don’t care if you’re going to throw a tantrum in front of everyone. The answer is no.'”

“Managing four kids when they’re not getting along and all want different things is tough,” she shares. “I always tell them, ‘Do you want me to cut myself in half or fours so I can be with each of you?’ And they look at me horrified, saying, ‘No, don’t ever do that!'”

“So, I explain, ‘If you all want me at the same time, you’ve got to chill,'” Kim says. “I’ll put everyone to bed at different times. We have to space this out.”
