Kim Kardashian has been open about how difficult coparenting with Kanye “Ye” West is in the years since their divorce, but now, it sounds like there’s not much parenting coming from his side at all. Following reports that Ye hasn’t spent time with his children in almost two months, Kim opened up about what it’s like to parent four children “alone” during a new podcast appearance.

Earlier this week, reports claimed that it's been a long time since Ye has seen his children.
According to The Daily Mail, it’s actually been about 57 days (and counting) since Ye was last photographed with his kids. In recent weeks, he’s been spending time in Japan with wife Bianca Censori, which has left Kim responsible for kids North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, back in California on her own.
Kim admitted that when it comes to parenting, she feels like she's 'in this alone.'
This week, Kim appeared on friend Zoe Winkler’s podcast, What In the Winkler?, where she opened up about being a single mom. Though she did acknowledge that she has a “great support system,” she also said things get tough for her on those nights when her kids are “sleeping in your bed, kicking and crying and waking up.”
She feels a lot of 'judgment' from people when she talks about parenting.
“People always will jump on the: ‘Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help,’ I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, I’m basically raising four kids by myself here,” she said, according to BuzzFeed.

She also vented about a very common mom experience: carpooling.
“I had five kids that I had to take — two came over — and everyone leaves and you want to leave at different times, and want different stuff,” she said. “I feel like I’m a pitstop of a racer driver. When it’s like: ‘Brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, OK, get dressed, get dressed, do your hair!’”
Who hasn’t been there? Weekday mornings are rough.
Regardless of how busy she is, Kim always takes her kids to school herself.
“That’s what’s really important to me. Taking them to school, and driving them to school every single day — it’s what I have to do no matter what my work schedule is,” she said. “That’s just, like, my bonding time. That’s when I can get them up, get ready, but it’s madness.”
Her kids may not be spending much time with their father these days, but this is what they’ll really remember when they’re older: Mom taking them to school every day, no matter what else was going on in their lives.
