Kourtney Kardashian isn't conforming to parenting norms. The mom of 4 was her sister Khloé Kardashian's latest guest on her “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast, and she had a candid and vulnerable conversation about her family dynamics.
Kourtney shares Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 10, with ex Scott Disick. She went on to welcome her son, Rocky, 1, with husband Travis Barker nine years later. With that gap, she opened up about how some of her parenting styles have changed. Unlike her first kids, when she wanted to have all the best lotions and products, she revealed she only uses organic coconut oil.
Her sleeping arrangements have also changed. She said she always shared a bed with her children, but now she and Barker share a room with Rocky. While he will have his own room one day, she explained that attachment style parenting is about "not separating for as long as possible in the first three years." "It helps nurture their secure attachment," she explained. For Kourtney, she's going off what her motherly instincts tell her.
With the attachment style parenting, the 46-year-old explained she holds Rocky for his nap the entire time, which shocked Koko. "That's crazy to me," Khloe said, "because he's also not a light baby." But Kourtney is committed to carrying her 23-pound mini-me for as long as it takes. "Once he took a nap for like 5 hours .. I'll sit in our little chair usually, and I still have my breastfeeding pillow, and my arm is under him," she said. Kourtney also covers him with a radiation blanket so she can be on her phone while she holds him for hours on end.
While Kourtney's parenting may seem head-turning, especially for busy moms, she said she is all about "living authentically" and "not conforming." She went on to slam the school system. “Like, let’s say the school system. I’ll think, ‘Why do kids f–king go to school?’ Truly. It’s so dated," the Poosh founder said.
Koko agreed, "Oh, I’m such a homeschool person, so don’t even get me going.” Kourtney's kids are about homeschooling too and have sent her videos about people who found success without school. “And then I’m like, ‘What’s the goal here? Do you want to homeschool? Let’s do it!’ Or whatever it is. I think it’s anything,” she continued.
