Is Kim Kardashian losing her cool-mom status?

In this week’s episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder, 43,  showed just how embarrassing her four kids — North, 10, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm West, 4 — find their mom. 

As the mom of four prepares to shoot GQ’s Man of the Year cover, she says to the cameras, “Well I'm so glad that I have a little bit of clout here being GQ's Man of The Year, because at home, like, I've turned into the embarrassing mom. The cringy mom."

Back in the scene, Kardashian asks Saint, “Do you think I'm a cool mom or am I a cringy mom?”

“Cringe,” he quickly replies. However, Saint may just be taking words out of his sister’s mouth. “Oh, I'm a cringe mom?! Are you the new North?” Kardashian says to her son. “North says, I'm so cringe.”

The mom of four admits in a confessional that she attempts not to be “cringe” by picking up slang words she hears on TikTok, but it never seems to go over well. 

“My kids, they say gyat, and gyat means a big butt. I got it off TikTok and it was, like, made you feel so old, when you don't know what the slang words are,” she explains. “So I was like ‘Guys, we’re late. We’ve gyat to go.’ And they were like, ‘MOM! You’re so embarrassing.’”

Kardashian called up her oldest after telling the story to ask, “Why am I so cringy? Why am I so annoying?”

“First, you’re so cringy because you're saying those words,” North quickly responds.

“Gyat damn,” Kardashian jokes, prompting North to abruptly end the call. “Oh, she hung up on me.”

In last week's episode, Kardashian shared that she often has trouble balancing being a single mom of four with her busy work life. In a confessional, she said, "I am a single mom of four and it is wild."

The scene then flashed back to her in glam as she explained how chaotic her home is.

"Right when I think I have two minutes just to wash my hair, ‘MOM!’ " Kardashian screamed, mimicking her kids. "And they open the door to the shower.’

New episodes of The Kardashians drop Thursdays at 12 a.m. ET/9 p.m. PT on Hulu.
