Kim Kardashian Candid Parenting Quotes: Raising 4 Kids Alone, Nannies, More

Kim Kardashian is free to change her look on a whim. As for her parenting style, she suspects it’s too late for a makeover.

“Sometimes, I’m like, ‘Damn, I wish I could do it all over,'” she admitted on a 2024 episode of The Kardashians. “The one thing I would do is be so strict from the start.”

Cue North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7, breathing a sigh of relief.

But that’s just vintage Kim—who’s turning 46 on Oct. 21 and recently described herself as “intermediate-strict,” as well as “extremely patient and loving”—turning her discerning eye on how she’s gone about raising the four kids she shares with ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West.

Over the years she’s been candid about everything from her pregnancy complications with North and Saint (Chicago and Psalm were born via surrogate) to her eldest child’s precocity—”Who intimidates me?” she quipped in 2021. “Maybe just my daughter North”—but there’s nothing Kim loves more than being a mom.
