While Kanye West continues to dominate the headlines with more of his seemingly outrageous rants, it’s his kids with Kim Kardashian that are beginning to steal the spotlight. It’s no secret that Kim and Kanye’s personal marriage woes have leaked into the public domain, but it appears that the divorce is taking its toll on their children, especially their oldest child, North West.

Recently, on an episode of The Kardashians, North was seen crying because she wanted to live a “simpler” life with her dad, away from the lavishness she currently lives with Kim and her three siblings. But could her longing to live with Kanye also be the result of Kim’s favoritism towards her other children?

Has Kim Kardashian Played Favorites With Her Kids?

Kim Kardashian’s relationship with North West has been a cause for concern ever since her dramatic divorce from controversial rapper and producer, Kanye West. She has admitted to the challenges she has experienced while adjusting to life as a single mother, but she has also been heavily criticized for her comments about being a “boy mom.”

According to Glamour, the 43-year-old reality star said this during a season four episode of The Kardashians: “I love my girls, but a girl, like, steals your clothes and has an attitude, y’know? There’s nothing like being a boy…it’s the best.” The statement came after Kim organized a soccer tour for her seven-year-old son, Saint West. She also shares another son with Kanye, four-year-old Psalm West.

Kim Kardashian’s open declaration of having a preference for raising her sons rather than her daughters sheds light on the possibility of showing favoritism to her children. Favoritism among siblings is known to cause feelings of rejection in the “less favored” child/children, which could be another reason behind North wanting to live with Kanye.

During a recent episode of ‘The Kardashians,’ Kim confessed she has more fun spending time with her sons than her daughters.

Kim Kardashian’s statement about finding her sons easier to raise also came on the heels of North’s exasperation with her mother at Beyoncé’s concert this past September. The 10-year-old has also been described as being headstrong, just like her father, which may also be causing clashes in the mother-daughter relationship.

Does North West Resent The Luxurious Life She’s Lived With Kim Kardashian?

Although Kim Kardashian’s net worth far exceeds Kanye’s, who has lost his billionaire status, not all her kids enjoy the luxurious amenities that come with her opulent lifestyle. North has expressed her preference to live with her dad, despite the fact that he lives in a Hollywood apartment, while Kim enjoys the magnificence of the $70 million mansion located in Los Angeles. DailyMail reports that Kim recalled an incident when North went into a tantrum as she lamented over having to live in her mother’s Hidden Hills mansion with security, nannies, and personal chefs. Here is a list of the other properties Kim owns and their current value, according to The Richest:

Hidden Hills Mansion, California – $70 million

Coeur d’Alene Mansion, Idaho – $4 million
Calabasas Condo, California – $3.5 million
Malibu Beach House, California – $7.5 million
Neighboring Hidden Hills Property – $5.3 million
Hidden Hills Buffer Mansion – $6.3 million

North’s outburst caused Kim Kardashian to realize how much the child needed to spend time with her father, prompting Kanye to fly his wife, Bianca Censori, back to Australia while he took his daughter on a trip to Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Although Bianca was not invited on the trip, she seems to have understood the importance of father-daughter bonding time together. North seems to also be proud of the fact that her father has everything under control.

According to Kim, this is what North says spending time with her Dad is like, “Dad is the best. He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny. He doesn’t have a chef. He doesn’t have security. He lives in an apartment.”

Why Has Kim Kardashian’s ‘Boy Mom’ Statement Received Backlash?

At first glance, Kim Kardashian’s statement about being a “boy mom” with her kids doesn’t seem alarming. But fans wonder if the term may be pointing to a darker psychological mindset. She has been honest about her preference for raising boys, but what does the term “boy mom” actually mean? Essentially, this term is negatively associated with women who give preferential treatment to their sons, while harboring feelings of jealousy toward their own daughters or daughters-in-law.

It may be too early in the lives of her kids to see if she has reached that level, but Kim Kardashian has claimed that women are prettier when pregnant with boys because girls “take the beauty to give it to themselves.” She went on to say, “The boys know what’s up and they let you be a little bit prettier.” For most mothers, that’s a disturbing statement to make.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s firstborn daughter, North West has been living a life in the spotlight since birth.

Kim Kardashian’s comments about the reasons why she thinks “There’s nothing like being a boy mom,” have left her fans reeling. Reddit users who commented on Kim’s statements on that episode of The Kardashians mocked her “girls have an attitude” comment, while another said, “I think she’s more worried about her daughters stealing her spotlight.” North’s name has been buzzing in the media in recent times, especially as she has debuted her rap name on Kanye’s upcoming album, Vultures, according to E News. Let’s hope her rising fame and popularity doesn’t cause Kim to display any other “mom boy” features.

Has Kim Kardashian’s Kids Picked Kanye Over Her?

With all the negative publicity that Kanye has been receiving, it would be Kim Kardashian’s worst nightmare if her kids chose to live with him rather than her. While the living preferences of Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West may not be known to the public, North has made it clear that she intends to move in to her father’s apartment permanently, which is horrifying news for the SKIMS founder.

But it appears that just as Kim Kardashian favors raising her boys compared to her girls, North favors her dad more than she does her mom. Her statement “Dad is the best” is enough to prove that, when compared to Kim, Kanye is her favorite parent.

Fans have noticed a concerning pattern on Kim’s socials featuring her eldest daughter.

According to Kim Kardashian per an interview with People about her kids, she stated that North “lives her life like an only child,” which means that the 10-year-old is probably unbothered by her mother’s comments about favoritism. It’s possible that, in addition to wanting to live a normal life apart from Kim’s splendor, she also appreciates the structured approach Kanye has to his own life, as well as to parenting.
