How do Kim and Kourtney approach co-parenting?
The following is a fictionalized account of the Kardashians discussing their different parenting styles.
Dr. Nygard: Good afternoon, ladies. Thank you for coming in today. Now, let's start by discussing the recent incidents where your daughters, North and Penelope, used physical violence towards their nannies.
Kim Kardashian: Ugh, it's just been so stressful, Dr. Nygard. North scratched her nanny's face, and I'm just like, really? What the actual fudge?
Kourtney Kardashian: Well, at least your daughter just scratched someone, Kim. Penelope can be completely out of control. It's like dealing with a tiny tornado.
Kim Kardashian: Oh, please, Kourtney. You act all holier than thou, but didn't you slap a nanny once? Talk about out of control.
Kourtney Kardashian: That was a long time ago, and it was a different situation. But at least I apologize afterwards.
Dr. Nygard: Ladies, let's focus on finding a solution rather than pointing fingers. Now, how do you both handle discipline when these incidents occur?
Kim Kardashian: I believe in addressing the issue head-on, like, right then and there. I think it's important to nip it in the bud, you know? No slaps needed, of course.
Kourtney Kardashian: And I prefer a more diplomatic approach. I mean, we can apologize later, right? Maybe throw a tantrum party or something.
Kim Kardashian: Tantrum party? Seriously, Kourtney?
Dr. Nygard: Let's try to keep this discussion constructive. Now, Kris mentioned that she never had any such issues with discipline when her children were young. Any thoughts on that?
Kourtney Kardashian: Well, I guess I'm just not as perfect as Mom, huh?
Kim Kardashian: Oh, please, Kourtney. Mom's got her own perfectly-molded children. We're just here to entertain the world.
Dr. Nygard: It's important to remember that every child is different, and each parenting approach has its merits. Now, any thoughts on possible solutions, aside from tantrum parties or slapping nannies?
Kim Kardashian: Maybe we need to set clearer boundaries and consequences for their actions. But as the mother of four, it's exhausting to constantly be the enforcer.
Kourtney Kardashian: And maybe we should work on being more present and attentive to our daughters. I mean, I'm all about Crystal Energy, but maybe I need to focus it on them sometimes.
Kim Kardashian: Oh, please, Kourtney. Don't act like you're Mother Teresa all of a sudden.
Dr. Nygard: Ladies, let's try to support each other during this process and find a common ground. Remember, your daughters are watching and learning from your actions as well.
North West: Can I just say something? Penelope and I really love each other, even when our moms are fighting. We're like the dynamic duo, like Batman and Robin.
Penelope Disick: Yeah, we always have fun together, no matter what.
Dr. Nygard: It's wonderful to see the bond between North and Penelope. Perhaps focusing on their relationship can be a positive step forward.
Kim Kardashian: I guess you're right, Dr. Nygard. We need to put our differences aside and prioritize their well-being.
Kourtney Kardashian: Finally, a sentiment I can agree with.
Dr. Nygard: Progress is being made. Let's continue to work on communication, setting boundaries, and supporting each other as co-parents. We'll reconvene in our next session to evaluate the progress.
The tension begins to dissipate as the Kardashians consider the growth and changes they need to make for the sake of their children. Dr. Nygard offers a knowing smile, hopeful for a meaningful transformation in their relationships.
