Kim Kardashian recently expressed the bittersweet nature of motherhood in an emotional social media post.
Sharing a quote on Instagram, the Skims founder reflected on the challenge of nurturing independence in her children, despite knowing how central they are to her own life. “The sad part about motherhood is that you're raising the one person you can't live without... to be able to live without you,” she posted, hinting at the mixed emotions many mothers experience as their children grow up.
The mother of four is raising her children—North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5—with her ex-husband, Kanye West, who reportedly isn’t very present in their daily lives. Sources close to Kardashian suggest that Kanye’s limited involvement has left her to manage much of the parenting responsibilities solo, effectively making her a single mother. Despite having support from nannies and staff, Kardashian’s life revolves around her children’s schedules. When they’re in school, she works, and when they’re home, she dedicates her time to being fully present as a mom. This lifestyle has left little room for dating or personal time, according to sources.

In a May 2023 interview on Jay Shetty’s *On Purpose* podcast, Kardashian opened up about the unique struggles of solo parenting. “Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful… But at the end of the day, your kids only want you,” she said. She acknowledged that while she has resources others might not, the emotional demands of parenting remain just as intense. Kardashian confessed to having nights where she “cries herself to sleep,” dealing with the emotional toll of managing her children’s diverse personalities, moods, and sibling rivalries alone.
Kardashian’s recent social media posts reflect the rapid growth of her children, who are each developing unique interests and styles. Photos from their first day of school this year revealed North sporting braces and Saint with blonde highlights. It’s clear her children are growing fast, and Kardashian appears to be doing her best to cherish each stage, even as the realities of single parenting weigh on her. Her relationship with her mother, Kris Jenner, has also been a source of strength and inspiration. In a birthday tribute, Kardashian expressed deep gratitude to Kris, who raised six children of her own, mostly with the support of a partner.

“Sometimes, they’re fighting, and there’s no one there,” she said, describing the challenges of playing both “good cop and bad cop.” “I am so beyond grateful for the love and support you show each of your kids,” she wrote, celebrating the “unmatched” dedication her mother has modeled. Kardashian’s reflections highlight both the joy and hardship of raising children on her own. While she has resources many do not, her experiences underline the challenges single parents face as they strive to balance work, family, and personal life. In her role as both mother and businesswoman, Kardashian’s journey resonates with anyone familiar with the simultaneous beauty and struggle of motherhood.
