Kim has four children with her ex-husband Kanye West; nine-year-old North, seven-year-old Saint, five-year-old Chicago and four-year-old Psalm.
When Jay asked the Skims founder what it was like to be a parent, Kim was very candid, admitting that being a mother is what she learned the most about herself.
In an exclusive video by PeopleKim began, “Everyone says the days are long and the years are short, and that couldn’t be truer.”
“So when you’re around, I mean, especially when they’re babies and you’re breastfeeding… there’s madness going on. It’s like utter madness, but it’s chaos at its finest,” she continued.
Kim then admitted: “It was the biggest challenge. There are nights I cry myself to sleep. What just happened?”
She continued that there’s “nothing that can prepare you for parenthood,” saying she’s “working on being a little more decisive with her kids.”
In an excerpt from the interview she shared Instagram Page, Kim continued, “Sometimes it’s nights where we just drive off hour after hour to see if we survive.”
When Jay brought up the topic of “maternal debt,” the reality TV star replied, “Maternal debt is probably the hardest thing… ‘Am I a good mom?'” Kids, all they want is time.
Elsewhere in the conversation, Kim told Jay, “Life is always going to be stressful and you can’t control half of it, but when you can control what you spend then you know you’re on the right track.”
“I do think people choose what they want to take from you.
“Once you realize that this life isn’t really about you, it’s about helping as many people as possible, all the doors open to you and your mind just opens up,” she added.
The clip ended with Jay asking Kim if she felt she wanted to be in love again, but fans will have to wait until Monday to see the full chat.
Earlier this month, Kim received a lot of backlash from critics for her “crude” parenting decision regarding their eldest child, North.
In an Instagram Story posted earlier this month, Kim promoted her teenage daughter as an influencer.
Lately, Rolling Stone named North one of the most influential creators on his top 20 list.
The publication states, “As she shares the account with her uber-famous mother, North’s innate star power screams through her haphazardly edited videos — suggesting that the ability to influence may simply be genetic.”
The Kardashians star shared a picture of her daughter from the list and captioned the post, “Thank you Rolling Stone for choosing North.”
In an online threadCritics ranted about how the Hulu star is urging her young child to “grow up fast” and become “ripe for adulthood.”
