Kim Kardashian is a doting mom to four children – but she is reaching breaking point trying to raise them without "support".
In the latest episode of The Kardashians, the 43-year-old emotionally admitted that her "chaotic" household forced her to barricade herself in a bathroom just to escape her "screaming" kids.
The Skims founder shares North, 10, Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, five, with her ex-husband, Kanye West.
On her way to jury duty, Kim made a call to an unnamed friend to "vent" about her "extra troubling week".
"I can't do it anymore," she said. "I just… anything in that home is just chaotic right now."
She explained: "Oh my God, no, what I wanted to say was I had a Zoom at the house with all my kids there, banging on the door, just screaming, and I was literally hiding in a bathroom with the door locked.
"I was just like, 'I can't believe this.' I mean I can believe it, but that's like my biggest nightmare."

She added: "I don't have that support and that really sucks, and I know I really have to like get it together."
Speaking during a confessional, Kim said: "Sometimes it gets just like a little intense. I want to be more strict like Khloe but I don't know why I have a hard time just saying no is no.

She continued: "They know when to con me and when to throw the little, you know, start with the tears so I'm like, 'Stop, stop, sure, take an iPad,' you know, just stop.
"I just have to be like, 'I don't care if you're gonna throw a tantrum in front of everyone right now. The answer is no'.

Explaining how she struggles to meet the demands of her children; Kim added in the confessional: "Managing four kids and a household where they're like not getting and they all want different things and I'm only one person.

"And I'm like, 'Well OK that's the only option if you all want me at the same exact time. We've got to chill. I'll put everyone to bed at a different time. We have to space this out."

Returning to the caller on the phone, Kim admitted: "I took her phone after a day I gave it to her, I'm such a pushover, but I took it for 24 hours."
