Kim Kardashian has recently revealed why she still struggles as a single mom despite having help with her kids.

Now, I know you've all seen that infamous Jay Shetty podcast interview where Kardashian, 43, talks about the struggles she faces as a single parent after calling it quits with her ex-husband, Ye - formerly known as Kanye West.

The pair share four children together: North, 10, Chicago, five, Saint, seven, and Psalm, four.

The reality TV star was asked how her thoughts on parenting differ now compared to before she had kids to which she responded with: "Everyone says the days are long and the years are short, and that couldn't be like a more true statement."

"So, like, when you're in it, I mean, especially when they're babies and you're feeding... there's madness going on. It's like full madness," she continued before adding: It's the best chaos though."

The business mogul also added that sometimes things do overwhelm her to the point where she has "no idea what's going on," emphasizing that they "all need [her]" all at once.

"It has been the most challenging thing," she said, telling the host that she gets emotional over it. "There are nights I cry myself to sleep. Like, holy s***, this f****** tornado in my house. Like, what just happened?" she told Shetty. "You know, with all the moods and the personalities and sometimes they're fighting, and you know, there's no one there," she added. "Like, it's [just] me to play good police officer and bad cop."

Kardashian then went on to state that "Parenting is really f****** hard.

"That's the only way I can describe it," she admitted. "It is the most rewarding job in the entire world. It is. There is nothing that can prepare you. ... I don't care how long you wait. I don't care what you're waiting for. You are never prepared.

"But you will figure it out, and it will make you so proud of yourself that you figured it out and that you got through the day," she concluded.

However, some fans weren't too impressed by the 43-year-old's comments as they pointed out that she has the privilege of hiring help for those rough days, whereas ordinary mothers don't have that luxury.

Now just a few months later, and the star has addressed those comments during the latest episode of The Kardashians.

"I think I’m still learning how to be a single parent," Kardashian siad on Thursday's episode. "And I just did the Jay Shetty podcast where I spoke about parenting, and I mean, I should be used to it now, but everyone had a lot to say."

Despite the comments, the fashion mogul maintained the stance that the struggles her children go through "really have nothing to do with the amount of help that I have."

"Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful. It’s all about family and enjoying these moments. It takes a village to raise kids but at the end of the day, your kids only want you," she added.
