Courtney says, “North is my lesson on this planet. She’s here to teach me more patience. She helps me learn how to be patient. There’s a way to be honest without hurting people’s feelings.”
“It’s looking like beachy diamonds are ringing it. This is my worst nightmare come true. I like the pearls, but they look like they’re from a dollar store. I feel like Hulu and Kris are trying to make her a problem.”
North West has been misbehaving, and some people are pointing fingers at Kim Kardashian. Kim has openly admitted that she struggles with disciplining her kids, and with Kanye out of the picture, she’s been handling it all on her own. Because of this, North’s behavior is starting to rub people the wrong way, leading them to question Kim’s parenting. So let’s talk about it.
Now, I don’t think it’s right to criticize a 10-year-old girl, especially one who was born into fame. North West didn’t choose to be part of the Kardashian world. But we can talk about Kim Kardashian’s parenting. A lot of people think North West’s behavior is a problem, and they’re not happy about it.
When I search for North West on YouTube, one of the top suggestions is “North West rude.” A lot of people think she comes off that way. Given that her parents are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, it’s not entirely shocking. In a recent Kardashian episode, Kim talked about how hard it is to discipline her kids or tell them no, which is something a lot of parents can relate to. But when you don’t set boundaries, it can result in a child who feels entitled, especially when they’re growing up with so much privilege.
When you look up North West online, it’s hard to miss the word “rude” popping up next to her name. It’s not without reason—there have been moments where her behavior has caused people to question how she’s being raised. It’s surprising to see such behavior, not just in front of the cameras but in everyday situations, making you wonder how she acts when the cameras aren’t around.
But let’s keep in mind, North is still a kid. She’s just 10 years old and constantly in the public eye, so it’s no surprise that she might act out from time to time.
Recently, there was an article where North West was called a “rude brat” after she gave a rather blunt critique to a fashion designer. This happened during an episode of The Kardashians, where North had some strong feelings about her mom’s 2023 Met Gala dress. Honestly, I think she was just being straightforward. When asked what she thought, North didn’t hold back—she said she didn’t love the dress and thought the pearls looked like they were from a dollar store.
She even pointed out that there were too many gaps in the pearls and that the diamonds messed up the overall look. It’s clear she takes after her dad, Kanye West, with that level of honesty. She said, “The pearls look fake; these are very expensive, real pearls going for like flapper girl vintage, authentic pearly girl.” And then added, “It’s looking like beachy diamonds dragged on it. This is my worst nightmare, like come to life. I like the pearls; I just don’t like that it looks like it’s from the dollar store.”
A clip of North’s brutally honest critique went viral, and people were quick to label her as a “rude brat” with no regard for others’ feelings or basic manners.
Unlike her siblings, who aren’t in the spotlight as much, North carries a lot of pressure. One person commented that Kim, as the adult, should’ve stepped in and stopped North from talking to the designer that way. By letting North be so blunt, Kim was seen as disrespecting the designer’s hard work and professionalism, especially on a show watched by millions.
Another person chimed in, “North isn’t the problem; Kim is.” Someone else added, “This is what happens when a kid has zero respect for her mom, and that’s on Kim.” Yet another person pointed out, “Kim and Kanye might be raising their kids, but they’re not parenting them. Allowing this kind of entitled, snobby behavior shows a serious lack of parenting.”
“I would never talk badly about my family to my daughter. That’s just not something I do.”
In a confessional, Kim, who has admitted that North can be a bit intimidating at times, shared that while she appreciates her daughter’s honesty, she’s trying to teach her how to be honest without being hurtful. Kim said, “There’s a way to be honest without hurting people’s feelings. I want you to learn that because you can say something like, ‘I might not love that,’ without being harsh.”
That’s basic parenting, something Kim should definitely be teaching North. “You can be honest without being mean. For example, instead of saying you don’t like someone’s necklace or outfit, you could say, ‘It’s not really my style, but I support you.’ That’s a good place to start.”
It seems like North doesn’t really respect Kim or take her seriously at times. Some fans even think Kim’s sister Kourtney has hinted at this side of North’s behavior. In a recent episode, Kim mentioned that Kourtney always tells her that North is her lesson in life. “Kourtney always says that North is my lesson on this planet, meaning I’m supposed to learn more patience. North teaches me patience and has taught me a lot about life. It’s a great relationship, as long as there’s some structure.”
But sometimes, it feels like Kim lets North walk all over her, kind of like how Kim and her sisters have been known to treat their mom with a bit of rudeness now and then.
Kourtney’s comment, “North is my lesson on this planet,” really makes you think. What does that mean? She’s your lesson? “It means I need to learn more patience. She teaches me patience.”
This reminded some people of how Kim used to act with her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney. One fan pointed out how Kim was pretty rude to them during a trip to Japan, kind of like how North acts now. “Kim was walking around Japan, saying that Kourtney and Khloe looked cheap and terrible. Now it’s coming back to her.”
The article is talking about when Kim told her sisters their outfits made them look like “clowns” while they were in Japan. Here’s a clip of that moment from the show:
“Okay, I’ve got to be honest with you all—you look ridiculous. Seriously, this isn’t some Halloween thing where you dress up like a Japanese geisha unless, you know, we’re actually at a geisha house.”
One person commented, “North is going to treat Kim the same way Kim treats everyone else.” Others noticed that North’s way of critiquing things is really similar to how Kim has publicly criticized her sisters in the past. Someone even said, “That delivery is pure Kim,” while others mentioned that North’s bluntness reminds them of her dad, Kanye West.
There was this moment on the red carpet with Chris Appleton where you can see Kim talking to North. North starts walking away, kind of waves her hand toward her mom, pauses for a second like she might listen, and then just kicks her leg back and keeps walking. You can just tell North is done with it—she’s not into the whole thing. Honestly, props to her for knowing when she’s had enough and sticking to it. But at the same time, it doesn’t make Kim look too great.
Let’s talk about some of North’s most memorable moments, especially the ones with her brother Saint.
“What do you think about your mom’s job?”
“What job?”
“How old are you? You look like a teenager.”
“Wait, come here. I love you.”
“Lip gloss. You need a pimple patch, Mom.”
“Pimple patch? No, you need a pimple patch.”
“Oh, really? That’s rude.”
“Heck no. Someone’s late.”
“Whenever I argue with North, she tries to get to me by saying, ‘Your house is so ugly. It’s all white. Who lives like this?’ It’s actually kind of mean.”
“Love you.”
“Your house is terrible. Go sit on that couch and watch us.”
“No, this couch is fine.”
“Most of the photos were unusable because North was flipping off the camera. That’s something my parents would never have allowed—no way.”
“Are you okay? I’m not sure what’s happening right now, but I love her side-eye.”
“It’s really important to check in on your friends and loved ones for their mental health—especially your kids, not just your friends.”
“True. How do you talk? How do I talk?”
“Guys, I got this new mask today, and, you know, this new… thing.”
Honestly, it can’t be easy being in this family, and if you’re not totally into it, it seems like North is just making fun of it all, which is pretty clever for her age. It comes off as witty because she’s clearly aware that it’s all kind of a show.
Fans are quick to point out how much better-mannered Stormi is compared to North, which suggests it’s more about the parenting style than the fame. Not to compare cousins, but it seems like Kylie is really present as a parent. She runs her business and spends most of her time at home with her kids.
“Are you going to be a good helper?”
“Yes, Mommy.”
“Wow, you’re such a good helper, Stormi.”
“Thank you, Mommy.”
“I love making cookies with you.”
“That’s cute, Mommy.”
Being patient is key, especially with kids. Stormi is super adorable and well-behaved, but it seems like not everyone agrees with how Kim Kardashian is raising her kids—especially her ex, Kanye West. He’s even accused Kim of being a bad influence on their children.
He once said, “Chicago is either going to be a blessing, or she’s going to be a problem. And I feel like Hulu and Kris are trying to turn her into a problem. I love Kris Jenner, but come back to Christ. If you’re serving Christ, I’m with you. But if you’re serving anything else and trying to tell Kim and Kanye what to do with Chicago, then it’s going to be a problem.”
That’s a lot to unpack from Kanye. While we might not take everything he says seriously, some of it might be worth listening to. But it’s clear that Kim is really hurt by his claims, especially when he says the kids are being raised by nannies.
Kim was reportedly not happy with Kanye’s latest track, “Eazy,” where he suggested that their kids are more in the hands of nannies than with her. A family source even said it was a low blow, and many of Kim’s friends agree it wasn’t fair.
“Of course, she has nannies,” the source said. “She’s got four kids, and Kim is juggling her career and her personal life.”
An article pointed out, “At the end of the day, it’s Kim and Kanye’s job to make sure their children grow up to be respectful and polite.”
This makes Kanye look pretty bad, honestly. Even if Kim does have nannies, what’s he doing to help? It’s not like he’s been the most present father lately, especially with him hanging out with Bianca, who’s barely wearing clothes. It feels like he’s sitting back and watching Kim struggle with the kids instead of stepping up.
Some people online even think Kanye might be trying to turn the kids against Kim and her family. This is something called triangulation, which is often used by people with narcissistic tendencies.
Triangulation is when someone controls the flow of information to create conflict between others. This could be talking bad about the other parent to the child, using the child as a messenger, or spreading lies. The goal is to make the child side with them against the other parent.
It’s sad because some of the things North has said to Kim have been pretty harsh, and you have to wonder where that’s coming from. Kim might not be perfect, but from what we see, she’s a caring and composed mother. She even goes out of her way not to speak badly about Kanye, even though he hasn’t done the same for her.
It’s clear there’s tension between Kanye and Kim, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s influencing the kids. Given everything he’s been through, it’s not hard to imagine him doing something like that.
“He started a rumor that I was hooking up with Drake throughout our marriage,” Kim said. “The person who was supposed to protect me accused me of cheating. I can’t wrap my head around how he thinks he’s a protector.”
Keeping up with the Kardashians is exhausting, which is probably why they dropped “Keeping Up” from the show’s name—nobody can keep up. Honestly, I wish Kanye would appear on the show because it’s been kind of boring lately. Anyone else feel that? I’m still watching because I love the luxury lifestyle, but a little more drama wouldn’t hurt.
