Like any parent with multiple children, the star couple has their hands full with North and Saint from time to time, and Kim isn't one to shy away from that. On Wednesday, she took to her app to talk about the challenges of motherhood, and her answer might surprise you. "There definitely are so many challenges," she explained. "From brushing hair and teeth in the morning, it's the small things and attitude changes that you have to work with."

While Kim said that small things might be occasionally challenging, she knows that small things can also be a source of joy. "It's all so much fun. It's the little things that bring so much happiness," she said. "The funny things the kids say, their honesty. The way they really need you. I love it all!" With baby No.3 on the way, we're happy to hear that all is well in the Kardashian-West household. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
