“Me and my whole family pretty much all live in the same gated community. I remember one time when I was having a hard time and you just don’t know if your baby has a fever or a rash? I called Khloé and it’s 10 p.m. and I said ‘I’ll be there.’ Three minutes later, she walked through the door. Those nights when you go to bed late and your babies are sick and you don’t know what to do and you have that family support, that’s the best thing ever. But it’s also so much fun that all my sisters have kids the same age, so we’re all going through that at the same time. Family is just the best.

It’s really hard, every kid is crying and nobody’s going to bed. The most stressful time as a parent is when I do a photoshoot with the kids. Every time I try to do a Christmas card, I’m like, ‘I’m never going to do that again.’ I’ll have to photoshop it together. I say every year, then every year I try it, I’m like, ‘No, they’re a year older, we’ve got this! We’re not going to fight! We’re going to fight! get out of it. Nobody’s going to cry today. And then it’s a nightmare and I’m like, ‘I’m never going to do that again.’ »

That’s crazy!”
