As they grow up, Kim’s hope is that “my children will cherish the family community that we’ve tried to instill,” noting their closeness with her siblings and their kids.
“For my whole family, we all live close together and the cousins feel like siblings. It’s so special they all have each other,” she says.
“My dad was strict but very fair and always calm. I never heard him yell,” she recalled. “He talked everything through no matter how much trouble we might have been in.”
When it came to the beloved momager, 67, “My mom was more frantic and way more chill with rules.”
“I definitely have aspects from both my parents,” Kim says of her parenting style. “I have the best parents in the entire world and feel so lucky that I got to see those examples and learn from them. The biggest lesson is that our kids will do what they see, not always what they are told, and I saw the most loving and smart examples.”
