Kim Kardashian has recently revealed that she’s in a fix when it comes to parenting her eldest daughter, North West, who will just turn 13 next month.

The American Horror Story star’s oldest daughter has become a public figure in the music, fashion, business filings with a massive TikTok audience.

Currently, she is pulled out of her private school and moved to home tutoring, so that she can explore fashion and music.

Given North’s hectic routine, many labelled Kim as a “bad mom” for allowing her child to make a career in entertainment industry.

A source close to the Kardashian family spoke to Daily Mail, saying that Kim “would actually prefer it if her kids weren’t so in the spotlight, but she knows that isn’t realistic”.

“That’s why she’s preparing them all to be self-sufficient financially and exploit their nepo baby status,” explained an insider.

Another source revealed that Kim has become North’s unofficial “momager”.

During an episode of The Kardashians, Kim shares that North “is not doing anything without me being right there the whole time”.

“Me having to be her momager right now is crazy. It’s just, it was not on my list. It was not on my Bingo card for this year. And I’m not ready,” mentions the All’s Fair actress.

Meanwhile, the SKIMS founder admits that she’s “conflicted” on her daughter’s career at this tender age.

“I just really want to make sure that everything’s really well balanced. All of the work experiences are balanced out with just enough fun life experiences. I just want balance,” adds the reality star.
