Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about her life as a mom of four and admitted she sometimes struggles to find time for all of her kids.
The 45-year-old became a mom of four when she gave birth to her son Rocky Thirteen Barker, whom she shares with Travis Barker, last November. She also shares three kids – Mason, Penelope and Reign Disick – with her ex-partner Scott Disick.
The Lemme founder is also a stepmom to Travis’ children – daughter Alabama Luella Barker, son Landon Asher Barker and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya. Kourtney opened up about parenting on the latest episode of The Kardashians and said she often feels “pulled in different directions”.
Speaking to the cameras in a confessional, Kourtney said: “I have kids all different age ranges – preteen, teenage, adult and infants – so I really do try to set aside one-on-one time with each of my kids. I don’t wanna miss anything.
“It’s like a feeling of being pulled in different directions, like wanting to be everything to everyone.” The Lemme founder was also filmed getting her hair and makeup done as she spoke to The Kardashians sound engineer Erin Paxton.
The friends were both pregnant at the same time when Kourtney was expecting Rocky. Kourtney opened up to her pal about mom guilt and admitted she struggles to leave her newborn son.
Kourtney said: “I’m with him all the time. Even now when we book Pilates, like Travis, he’ll do half and then I’ll do half.” She added: “And then I did the 40 days at home, where you stay home and I pretty much did that with Penelope too.”
The reality star explained how her son Mason broke his arm when her 40 days were up. She said: “It felt like God was like, ‘Your 40 days are up. Get your a– outta the house’.
“Like, literally, Mason called me and was like, ‘Mom, I’m on the side of the road. I broke my arm’. I rushed over to the hospital and I was like sending milk back from Children’s Hospital ’cause I didn’t even have any saved milk because I don’t leave him.
“But now I’m also like, feeling the guilt of all the kids.” She added: “Yesterday the guilt really hit where I was like, ‘Okay, I have to do more with the other kids’. So I don’t know how I’m balancing it yet.”
