Kim Kardashian Discusses Co-Parenting Realities and Protecting Her Children

Kim Kardashian is speaking candidly about the realities of co-parenting with her ex-husband, Kanye West, detailing both the heavy emotional burdens and the daily strategies she uses to maintain stability for their family. The insights are shared within the pages of her new book, Citizen Kim: The Woman Who Created the Future.

In the book, the reality star and actress admits that she worries about her former partner on a constant basis. She describes the feeling as a significant burden that comes with having children alongside someone she does not necessarily get along with. Despite any past difficulties, she acknowledges him as the father of her children and emphasizes that she will never stop worrying about his well-being.

She notes that she actively tries to push past negative experiences. While her therapist has advised her to maintain strong boundaries, she explains that they manage to co-parent without excessive conflict. She observes that things have remained relatively smooth for a prolonged period, noting that she continually encourages the bond between her children and their father.

To maintain a sense of normalcy for their children, Kim Kardashian regularly invites her ex-husband into their shared family environment. She makes a point of welcoming him to join them for dinner, spend time around the house, or take the kids out whenever he is in town. Her goal is to ensure the children feel comfortable seeing and interacting with him frequently.

Her efforts to keep the family dynamic intact extend to major holidays as well. She shares that she previously suggested he stay over for a few nights, including Christmas Eve, so they could celebrate the holiday together as a unit. She indicates an openness to repeating those kinds of inclusive family gatherings in the future for the sake of the kids.

The famous mother of four shares that she does not speak directly with Kanye West very often. Instead, communication is typically handled through his wife, Bianca Censori, or his manager. When her children ask about their father's whereabouts, she often covers for him by telling them he is traveling, deliberately making up stories to shield them from adult complications.

She emphasizes a strong desire for her children to view their father in the best possible light. To achieve this, she is willing to set aside past hurts and disregard harsh remarks directed at her, choosing to sweep negativity under the rug so the kids can freely experience their relationship with their father.

The former couple shares four children together: daughters North and Chicago, alongside their other children. While navigating the complexities of their separate lives, Kim Kardashian continues to prioritize creating an accessible, supportive environment for her kids to connect with their father despite the ongoing challenges.
