Kim Kardashian has shared her mother Kris Jenner's secret to parenting - a daily glass of vodka.
During an interview with Vogue Italia, the Skims founder spoke highly of her mother's ability to raise six children with very distinct personalities, stating, "I have so much respect for parents and now I can’t believe what my mom went through."
Kim, who herself is a mother to four children with ex-husband Kanye West, often seeks her mother's advice on how she handled the chaos of raising her siblings - Kourtney, Khloe, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie. Kim revealed Kris' humorous response, "She is just like, ‘Why do you think I had my vodka at 5 o’clock every day?'"
The 42-year-old reality TV star filed for divorce from rapper Kanye West in February 2021 after seven years of marriage. Despite sharing joint custody of their children, North, 10, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 4, Kim admitted that co-parenting with Kanye hasn't always been smooth, especially considering his public criticism of her family and her parenting.
Despite these challenges, Kim emphasized the importance of maintaining composure in front of her kids. She explained that she tries to keep her emotions in check and and is prepared to explain her feelings to her children in a way that's appropriate for their age. Kim shared her aversion to the phrase, "You’ll understand when you’re older," stating that she doesn't want to be the kind of parent who avoids open communication.
Kim also shared the importance of setting a positive example for her children, a lesson she learned from observing Kris, Caitlyn Jenner, and her late father, Robert Kardashian.
She said, "I think at some point you just have to surrender to not getting the last word and not having your truth out there," adding that she wants to be a good example for her kids, just like her parents were for her.
Kim and her famous family are never far from criticism and controversy. Recently, the Kardashians star caught flak for wearing an 'inappropriate' dress to her friend's wedding.
She attended the ceremony clad in a black cutout, strappy Alaïa dress - which included a bodice consisting of strips of fabric that barely covered her chest and a second-skin lace-up skirt with a crotch cutout (fortunately she was wearing black underwear underneath).
The original dress was on Alaïa's spring 2023 runway, though that dress featured a completely see-through turtleneck.
Internet users took to social media to comment on the "inappropriate" outfit choice, with one person writing: "Inappropriate wedding attire."
"She looks absolutely ridiculous," another user added.
Someone else said: "This ain't wedding attire."
