Kim Kardashian is one of the busiest women in Hollywood and the primary caregiver of her children North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. It should come as no surprise that, like many working moms, Kim has a nanny - well, she has multiple. But while Kim has plenty of help raising the kids, she says she is still very hands-on when it comes to motherhood.

Despite having a full support system, Kardashian says she makes a point of being there for the everyday moments with her kids. She takes them to school every morning, picks them up herself, and makes sure they have dinner together every evening.
“I think I am an intermediate-strict parent,” Kardashian told The Times. “I’m extremely patient and loving. I still have a kid sleep in my bed when they want. I read books with the kids every night.”

That question has become particularly important with North, 13, who has millions of followers on social media, has been releasing music, and has performed on stages.

North, however, has shown a much stronger interest in following in her famous parents’ footsteps. “North loves it a little bit more than the rest,” Kardashian said. “I hold her back."

When it comes to Ye, while it's no secret that they haven't always agreed with each other, she said that's one thing they are on the same page about. "With her, since it’s more music-related, that is something that her dad and I have better communication about,” she said. “We make sure that we’re aligned and that she’s in projects that we both approve.”
