Kourtney K Needs to Parent Her Kids
In recent years, Kourtney Kardashian’s parenting, or lack thereof, has become a focal point on the hit reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. While I do applaud Kourt for encouraging healthy eating habits and limiting time with electronics, it has become increasingly clear that Kourtney enforces very few rules or consequences in her household.
While I’m not taking Scott Disick entirely off the hook here, he definitely seems more open to punishment for bad behavior in the clips we have seen. Scott can only do so much if the Disick kids spend a majority of their time with their mother. Kourtney appears to be a huge pushover when it comes to actual discipline and certainly has a laissez-fair approach to household structure.
The former couple share 3 children together; Mason, 10, Penelope, 7, and Reign, 5. Although young, the Disick kids are all well on their way to making a name for themselves based on bad behavior.
Remember when in a September 2019 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, it was revealed that Penelope had scratched the family nanny so badly that she actually quit?
In a discussion showcased on the reality program, Kourtney seemed to shrug off her daughter’s disturbing antics while Kris Jenner was horrified. “Momager” Kris encouraged Kourtney to take disciplinary action immediately, but it was clear the mom of 3 wasn’t too concerned.
Most parents I know would be alarmed by this behavior, especially from such a young child. The fact Kourtney seemed so apathetic toward the situation was a huge red flag in my opinion.
Keeping Up also highlighted the Disick kids’ disrespect toward their mother when the trio used demanding tones and refused to complete chores in one episode.
Another storyline focused on Mason (the eldest) attempting to fight another child at school. Although Scott recommended that he be grounded, Kourtney and Mason “talked it out,” and the 10 year old was eventually still allowed to go play at a friend’s house.
More recently, Mason made headlines again for spilling top secret family tea during an Instagram livestream on his personal account. He confirmed that makeup mogul Kylie Jenner and rapper Travis Scott are not back together, despite recent rumors of a quiet reconciliation.
Kourtney then “intervened” and changed the pre-teen’s Instagram profile to “private.” Of course, Mason then switched his profile back over to public!
Kourtney and Scott eventually deleted Mason’s account altogether, only for Mason to jump social platforms and immediately create a TikTok.
Mason then went live and said that if Kourtney hadn’t deleted his Instagram account, he was sure that he would have amassed 2.7 million followers at this point.
This kid needs to be grounded, ASAP. Not only is he too young to be on either of the social media platforms (Instagram and TikTok users must be 13), but it’s Mason’s attitude of self-righteousness that is most concerning. Average 10 year olds aren’t laser focused on going viral for spilling family secrets and disrespecting their parents.
I would consider this point the rock bottom of Kourtney’s parenting career thus far. She needs to take control of her children immediately or risk raising 3 spoiled brats who will never respect the meaning of rules and consequences.
