Kim had a major venting session.
Being a working mom and a single mom isn't easy — even for Kim. On this week's new episode of The Kardashians, Kim vented about how tough parenting has been for her lately while she was on the way to jury duty. Talk about a full schedule!
"I had a Zoom interview at the house with all my kids there banging on the door, just screaming," she said in the episode. "And I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked. And I was just like, 'I can't believe this.' I mean, I can believe it.'"
It sounds like she's hitting her breaking point.
"I'm open to anything at this point because I can't live like this. I ran out of patience and that's what my superpower was, being calm and patient," she admitted.

She wished she could be more strict like her sister.
Khloé has always been known to lay down the law with kids True and Tatum, and Kim parents differently — but now, it sounds like she's wishing she could take a page out of her younger sister's book.
"I want to be more strict like Khloé but I don't know why I have a hard time just saying, 'No is no.' I think I also don't want to deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way," she said.
She said that parenting takes an 'emotional toll' on her.
"Managing four kids in a household when they're like, not getting along and they all want different things," she said. "And I'm only one person. This always shuts them up. I always say, 'Okay guys, do you want me to just cut myself in half or in fours and a part will go with you, a part would go with you,' and they look at me like, 'No, don't ever do that!'"
Hey, whatever works!
Parenting isn't for the weak!
Everyone has those "hiding in a bathroom moments" — even the parents who seem to have it all together, like Kim.
Hang in there, Kim! It will get easier eventually. And then, the kids will find a new way to stress you out. It's the never-ending cycle of motherhood.
