LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner are locking heads over the former one’s children as she does not want them to be "pushed into" reality TV spotlight like her or her famous sisters.

But Jenner is eager to launch them into the Kardashian family reality TV show business so that their franchise continues, as reported by InTouch Weekly.

Kim Kardashian ‘mapping out a plan for’ her children

The publication reported that Kim wants her children — 11-year-old North, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6 — whom she shares with former husband Kanye West to become the next A-list talents.

She’s “mapping out a plan for North and all her kids. She’s got a great team working with her, she knows all the right people and studio heads, and she’s calling the shots,” an insider revealed.

Even during an episode of a podcast hosted by Sara Foster, the 44-year-old said earlier this year, “She’ll [North] get an offer to do a photo shoot or something. And like, we really sit and talk about it as a family. Like, ‘Should she do this? What’s too much? What’s not?”

Kim continued, “I can’t, like … they’re already in it, right? Because just of who their parents are,” before adding, “And so I try to protect that and be so mindful of them being their own people and them not feeling like they have to, you know, be in our shadows.”

Kim Kardashian ‘wants the best for her kids’

Referring to it, the insider mentioned that the reality star’s “signing North up for photo shoots and voiceovers and she’s thinking up lucrative deals for the other ones, too. She wants the best for her kids and unlike Kris, she’s not pushing them.”

But Kim’s famous mother is not reportedly on the same page.

The tipster shared, “She’s always thinking ahead. It’s been high on her agenda for years to build the next generation of her family empire, which is why she’s been slowly phasing the kids into the show.”

Kris Jenner ‘thinks Kim owes it to her’

Kim, however, is not ready to let that happen. “They don’t have to do this unless they want to, of course,” the source noted, which means “Kris is fuming.”

About the 69-year-old media personality, the tipster stated, “She has her own plans for her grandkids, first of all that they join the family show franchise. Kris thinks Kim owes it to her after all she’s done for her, but Kim doesn’t see it that way, of course.”

“They’re both so stubborn, it’s gearing up to be a major collision course and people around them are covering their eyes,” the source added.
