AceShowbiz - On the latest episode of "The Kardashians", viewers got an intimate peek into Kim Kardashian's 43rd birthday, which turned out far from what she had envisioned. Spending the day with her four children - Psalm, 4, Chicago, 6, Saint, 8, and North, 10 - she found herself participating in activities that did not align with her idea of a perfect birthday.
"I thought my birthday, I'd have a day to myself. I was stuck doing everything that everyone else wanted to do," Kim revealed to her mother, Kris Jenner.
Despite her hopes for some alone time, Kim's day was filled with watching YouTube unboxing videos, a FIFA tournament, and a trip to Color Me Mine. "I had a FIFA tournament. Color Me Mine - you should see the ugly thing I made. This is not what I wanted to be doing on my birthday," she lamented.
The reality TV star further expressed her frustrations, saying, "I need to sit my kids down and be like this isn't Mother's Day. Like this is my day. Do you think a mom wants to go to Color Me Mine one more time on her birthday? Whose birthday is it? I know I was tortured. Just make me breakfast. That's a great birthday."
Kim's ideal birthday? Simply locking her door, staying in bed, and indulging in cookies and cream ice cream all day. "That's what would have been my dream and no one cares about my dreams, not my four kids at least," she confessed on camera.
However, Kris Jenner offered a contrasting viewpoint. "I think that we've all, as moms, been through some days where we don't want to be doing what we're doing, but we do it for our kids. So, come on, Kim. Suck it up, do a little Color Me Mine," she advised with a mix of empathy and tough love.
In response, Kim acknowledged her need to adopt a tougher parenting style, similar to her sister Khloe Kardashian's. "I'm gonna get my s*** together and I'm gonna be a f****ing drill sergeant. Like, Khloe is so tough."
Balancing between her two sisters' approaches, Kim admitted, "I'd say I'm like half of a Khloe parent or and half of a Kourtney parent. Kourtney's like, 'It's all love, do what you want,' you know, but then I also get Khloe and I get that order but it's difficult for me to be a really strict parent."
Kris offered practical advice on setting boundaries. "You're gonna have to create some boundaries for everybody else including me, including your friends, including some business associates. You just need to create a world for yourself where less people have access to you. And everyone else can f*** off."
Understanding Kim's struggles, Kris added, “Being a mom, being a working mom, it's really hard. I know Kim, and I know how she thrives on her workload, but we all still need a little bit of balance."
