When it comes to sleepovers, Khloe Kardashian is “very strict” about not allowing her kids, True, 7, and Tatum, 2, to take part in the time-honored tradition, citing that “times are different” now.
In the latest episode of her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land. , the 40-year-old reality star spoke with UFC CEO Dana White about some of her personal parenting decisions.
“I don’t let my kids sleep anywhere. I’m very strict about it,” she said in the episode. “Times are different, so I won’t let my daughter, or my son, who’s 2½, but they’re not allowed to have sleepovers just because I’m one of those types of… I just — I think too much. I’ve watched too much Dateline.”
In another portion of the episode, the mother-of-two, took a jump through time telling the UFC executive that she is already dreading being an empty-nester.
“I don’t know if I’m gonna like being an empty nester,” she admitted to White. “I’ll probably shave my head and go nuts or something. Or buy a ton of animals.”
However, Kardashian added that the good thing about living so close to her mother and siblings is that she might be subconsciously “brainwashing” her children into following suit.
“What I think I’m doing now is I’m sort of brainwashing my kids to think this is normal to live next to your mom, so then, when I’m old enough, they’re just gonna think, this is what you’re supposed to do.”
Kardashian has been accused of being “too mommy” by not only her family, but many in the court of public opinion. The reality star has been scrutinized and mocked for spending too much time at home with her children. In the episode, the entrepreneur tells White that she “… genuinely feel like I was made to be a mom and there’s no other place I would rather be than here with my kids.”
“For some reason, I keep getting dissected and scrutinized for being ‘too mommy.’ Like you spend too much time with your kids, you never want to be social, you don’t have any friends, but for me, I genuinely feel like I was made to be a mom and there’s no other place I would rather be than here with my kids,” she said.
“But there’s gonna be a time that my kids are gonna want to choose their friends over me. And right now, when I have the opportunity and the privilege of having dinner with my kids every night, I’m going to take advantage of that,” she continued. “In 15 years, my kids are never going to be like, ‘I really wish you worked more. I really remember that time that you were at work late.’ They’re going to be like, ‘Why the f— weren’t you there?’”
