Kardashian-Jenner Sisters’ Parenting Clapbacks Over the Years

March 18, 2021

No shame in their parenting game! Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and more of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters have slammed the parenting police over the years.

The Poosh creator was the first Keeping Up With the Kardashians cast member to start a family in 2009 when her and Scott Disick’s eldest son, Mason, arrived. He became a big brother when Penelope and Reign arrived in 2012 and 2014, respectively.

In September 2019, the University of Arizona grad disagreed with her mom Kris Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, when he said that she should discipline her kids with spankings.

“In my opinion, beating children is not [how] to ‘get your kids in check,” the E! personality tweeted at the time. “When children are hurting or frustrated, the answer is not to physically hurt them. … They’re children and [Penelope] was clearly hurting inside so hurting her physically is not going to make anything better. How do we not know better by now?!”

Kourtney added, “I am very proud of my kids and being a parent isn’t always easy, but we do have consequences that don’t involve physical harm.”

Khloé took her sister’s side. “When it comes to discipline and your children, no one should judge,” the Strong Looks Better Naked author tweeted. “Everyone should do what’s best for their family. We all may parent differently but I would always respect how my sisters choose to discipline. #KUWTK.”

As for the Revenge Body host’s own run-ins with parenting criticism, she hasn’t hesitated to clap back over the years.

When an Instagram user wrote that her daughter, True, was “not cute at all” and looked like dad Tristan Thompson in 2018, Khloé replied, “What self-respecting adult would even comment on a child’s appearance? What type of disgusting human being are you? It’s pathetic that you are this miserable in your life. No respect for people like that. People are entitled to their own opinions and feelings but why on earth would you tweet that and if you must, why would you tag me?”

In February 2021, the Good American cocreator tweeted, “I completely have accepted the fact that her and her daddy look so much alike. It’s OK.”

The Strong Looks Better Naked author began dating the athlete in 2016. The on-again, off-again couple broke up in February 2019 following multiple cheating scandals, only to reconcile the following year amid the coronavirus pandemic. The duo called it quits in 2021, and Thompson fathered a child with Maralee Nichols.

Mini Masterpiece

When many were suspicious about a painting the KKW Beauty creator’s eldest daughter, North, made in February 2021, Kim wrote via Instagram: "DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!! My daughter and her best friend have been taking a serious oil painting class where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured. North worked incredibly hard on her painting, which took several weeks to compete. As a proud mom, I wanted to share her work with everyone. How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?!?!? Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT!!! NORTH WEST PAINTED THAT PERIODTDDDDABCDEFGZFDT!!!!!!”

Kiss, Kiss

Kourtney will “never apologize for” kissing her kids on the lips, she told Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in March 2020. She added, "Once in a while, I may respond to a negative comment for fun, or if something really does bother me I definitely have the platform to correct it ... but I usually don’t think twice. No matter what it is that I am doing, someone has something to say, good or bad. The worst, though, is when people I don’t know give unsolicited parenting advice. No one knows my kids better than me. I’ve got this, I’m good, thanks.”

Perfect Priorities

On the Move

“Yes, I do choose to spoil my daughter,” the Kocktails With Khloé host wrote via Instagram in July 2019 when she was bashed for buying True a baby Bentley. “I want to spoil her with love as well with material items. She will also be raised with values, responsibilities, chores, respect, self love."
