Kim Kardashian Reflects On Parenting Challenges And Feeling Like A Single Mom
The Instagram post comes after Kardashian opened up about the challenges of parenting solo while speaking with her close friend Zoe Winkler on the "iHeart What The Winkler?" podcast.
Winkler described Kardashian's situation as "insane," to which the reality star agreed.
The SKIMS founder explained that she often feels like a single parent, particularly as her ex-husband, Kanye West, has been in Japan for months with his new wife, Bianca Censori.
The mom of four admitted that she doesn't often discuss her parenting struggles because of the intense judgment it can bring.
"You and I have mostly connected on parenting and judgment, and you know, feeling like sometimes you're in this alone," Kardashian said, per Daily Mail.
She also revealed the weight of raising her children largely by herself, saying, "I'm basically raising four kids by [herself] here."

However, she noted that one thing she prioritizes above all is driving her four kids to school every morning, calling it an essential bonding ritual.
"That's what's really important to me… driving them to school every single day is just what I have to do no matter what [my] work schedule [is]," she shared.
