20 Times Kim Kardashian Had Her Mom Skills Called Into Question

It finally seems as though Kim Kardashian has completed her family (or so we think). With two girls and two boys, it all seems pretty perfect for her and Kanye West. With years of parenting experience under her belt, it would appear the newest addition to their family, Psalm West, would be a piece of cake at this point. However, even though Kim has four kids worth of mom-ing on her resume, people on the internet still think they know how to raise her kids better than she does -- and boy do they make it known.

Trolls will be trolls -- but these aren't just any trolls. Yes, we're talking about mommy shamers.

Kim has probably faced the most mommy-shaming when it comes to the rest of her family -- next to Kourtney Kardashian, of course, who has three kids of her own whom people love to put in their two cents about. The saddest thing is that it seems like the most mommy-shaming Kim deals with is directed at North West -- who isn't even ten, yet has hundreds of tabloid stories written about her. These all poke and prod at one thing: Kim's parenting skills.Β 

OK, real talk? Most of these mommy shamers probably don't even have kids. If they did, they'd know that letting their kid play dress up or eat candy wouldn't be a federal issue. Plus, moms should be looking out for each other -- famous or not. After all, it takes a village -- and mommy-shaming is like when all the villagers decide to pull out their torches and pitchforks because someone threw a CBD-themed baby shower. Which, of course, is just one of the things Kim has been shamed for.

Filter Faux Pas

Kim has been criticized in the past for putting heavy filters on her children's photos, but she's also been accused of photoshopping them. Fans claimed that Kim photoshopped this pic of Chicago, as they compared it to the one Kylie had posted which seemed ever so slightly different. However, none of these claims have been proven.

Baby Bundle

We were graced with Psalm West this year, but fans had to point out the dangers of his crib being padded with bumpers and blankets. Experts say the crib should be flat and bare in order to prevent SIDS. Kim had been through three kids by then -- sources say they just wrapped him up like this for the photo.

3/20

Hoop Haters

This pic may have been adorable, but fans didn't think North's hoop earrings were appropriate for her age. How about we let North play dress up like all kids do? Most kids love dressing up like their parents -- North obviously included.

Pretty Problematic

In this adorable photoset Kris Jenner shared, people were busy bashing Kim for letting North wear a completely fake nose ring. Fake nose ring? Not an issue. North additionally wearing a bindi? Definitely more of an issue. Kim's no stranger to cultural appropriation accusations.

5/20

Merry Makeup

Can we count the number of times Kim has been shamed for letting North wear makeup? We'll try -- here's one! Apparently, North picked out the lipstick herself -- no one forced her to wear it (obviously).

6/20

Gospel Girl

Among criticisms of North's makeup, many are giving Kim the side-eye for North looking too "grown up" and teenager-ish. She's just dancing, people. Besides, can't we just be happy she's at Sunday Service with her family?

7/20

Piggyback

Chicago and Saint are BFFs, and Kim wants the world to know. It's sad she even had to post that disclaimer comment in this photo to prevent mommy shamers from ruining the fun. It was obviously just staged for a fun photo!

8/20

Screen Scare

Fans were up in arms about this picture of North on Insta. Tons of comments seem to say the same thing: "Let her be a kid," and "Get her off the phone." Little do these people know that Kim does believe in limiting phone time. Shows how much they know!

9/20

Hairy Situation

Although this picture is sweet, the Insta-fam was not OK with North having her hair straightened. Many believe this is preventing North from loving her natural curls, but she seems to love her hair in every style.

Suck on That!

Before mommy shamers could even come for her, Kim had a response ready for people who might have attacked her for Saint's "pacifier." "P.S. mom shammers it’s not a pacifier, he’s eating candy!" Go Kim!

11/20

CBD Baby

Even though Kim had three kids already, some thought it was completely "inappropriate" of Kim to have a "CBD-themed" baby shower for her fourth child. It's CBD, not weed, guys. Maybe if they tried it, they'd chill a bit.

12/20

Bikini Battle

Leave it to the internet to get disgusted by how Kim gave North a bikini to wear. Uh, in case no one has noticed: There's all sorts of styles of swimwear for kids -- bikinis included. Leave it alone! Besides, can we talk about body positivity instead?

13/20

Born Fame

If North's makeup and outfits weren't criticized enough, critics have also accused Kim of pushing North into the dangerous spotlight of child fame. Obviously, North has a growing passion for fashion and makeup -- Kim's just helping her embrace her dreams.

14/20

New Year's Nonsense

Poor little Saint West had to go to the hospital for pneumonia around New Year's in 2017. He was there for four days, but luckily, got better in time for the holiday. However, because of Kim and Kanye's extravagant partying posts, mommy shamers quickly assumed they had left Saint's bedside to get wasted. This is why fact checking is important!

15/20

Surrogacy Judgement

In what is probably the most disgusting example of mommy shaming, people assumed that Kim chose a surrogate for Chicago and Psalm simply because of her wealth and "vanity." However, nonignorant individuals would know that because Kim ran into quite a few health difficulties when carrying North and Saint, she later chose surrogacy for the safety of herself and her children.

16/20

Bewaring Bare

Kim is a model. As is obvious, she's done a lot of nude photos -- such as, for example, her Flashing Lights Collection pics. From semi-revealing to birthday suited, it seems that whenever Kim posts a picture, social media trolls rush to comment about how "a mother shouldn't be doing this." Her body, her rules.

17/20

No Pictures!

North has made it very clear in the past that she doesn't always feel like having a camera pointed in her face. When Kim posted this video, some found it less funny than Kim did, implying that she wasn't respecting North's request (and to boot, accused Kim of being a phone-addicted parent). Seriously, some people have nothing better to say.

18/20

Reserved Seating

Kim posted an adorable photo of Saint in his car seat back in 2017, but it just gave haters another excuse to come for Kim. They claimed that Saint was too young to be sitting in a forward-facing carseat, rather than a rear-facing one. Kim clapped back, though, confirming that Saint was at the correct height and weight requirements to be comfortable in a forward one.

19/20

Social Media Momma

Due to Kim's absence from social media when North and Saint were born, Kim's quick return to posting after Chicago was born had fans (read: "fans") skeptical about Kim's dedication to her third baby. Did these people forget Kim had a surrogate for Chicago? Of course she'd be more energized!

20/20

Name Game

Of course, we all know how it goes with Kardashian-West kids. Kim announces the birth of her child, and then everyone has a field day about their "weird" names. Hey, different doesn't mean bad!
