In a candid episode of Zoe Winkler's iHeartRadio podcast 'What in the Winkler?' on November 12, Kim Kardashian opened up about the challenges of raising her children, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West. 

She revealed that she sometimes feels isolated in her parenting journey, despite having a strong support system. "I think you and I've mostly connected on parenting. And judgment, and feeling like sometimes you're in this alone, even though we have great support systems and we have people around us," she said. 

While she mentioned the importance of having support, Kardashian did not specifically mention West in her remarks about co-parenting, as per Toofab.

Kardashian went on to describe the struggles she faces during late-night hours, adding, "But sometimes in the middle of the night when they're all sleeping in your bed kicking you and crying and waking up." 

She also touched on the judgment she feels as a public figure, saying, "It’s not something that I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, 'Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help.' And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, basically raising four kids by myself is.." After hearing this, podcast host Zoe Winkler responded, "Insane."

Kim Kardashian then described the hectic nature of her mornings, explaining how she juggles getting all her children to their different activities. 

"I mean even carpool this morning, I had five kids that I had to take. And everyone wants to leave at like different times or wants different stuff. And I feel like I'm at like a pit stop of a race car driver," she said.

She may have been referring to her close-knit family, where cousins often stay at each other’s homes, adding even more bustle to her already busy mornings.
