Kim Kardashian WestKim Kardashian is cracking down on her household rules.
In this week's episode of The Kardashians, the SKIMS founder, 43, tells her sister Khloé Kardashian that she has put stricter rules in place for herself and her kids at home. The two discuss their different styles of parenting, as Kim tries to become a stricter mom, despite finding being lenient to be "easier."
"I cannot believe I have a peaceful household. For everyone," Kim tells Khloé as she's getting her glam done for a Hulu photo shoot.
"Everyone? Wow, what’s different?" the Good American co-founder, 40, asks.

"Well I think I started to see a therapist, and I just saw her once, but the simplest thing that she told me was to take down screen time," Kim explains. "And of course you’re like 'Duh. Of course.' But having strict rules, like there can be no phones during meals, they’re going to fight and kick and scream for a week and you’ve gotta get through it."
In a confessional, Kim admits, "I was just being really lenient because it was easier for me. I was like, ‘I can’t. I put my all into like everything else. This has to be my all times a million.'"
She continues, "I’m gonna have to go through the hard times of, like, whining and crying of, ‘Why are you changing the rules? I used to have my device all the time.’ I’m like, ‘No it’s gonna be this way.’ So I just changed a lot of little things around my house. I’m basically turning into Kourtney and Khloé. So maybe Khloé was a little right?"
Khloé then says in her confessional, "I am super proud of Kimberly for wanting to take a stricter approach to her kids and sometimes it just takes a third party or a different voice for you to register something."

Back in the scene, Kim adds, "Like why can I run these businesses and be really firm and I just turn into a big p---- when I’m at home? I can’t do that. This is my most important job, I can’t have anyone run over me."
"It’s better to nip it now than when they’re older and then it’s like a mutiny," Khloé advises.
"Sometimes it’s just easier to be like, ‘Oh, just here’s your phone,’ " Kim admits, adding, "My kids don’t sit on their devices all day." Kim is a mom to North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, who she shares with ex Kanye West.
Earlier in the season, Kim told Khloé and sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker the one thing she'd do over as a mom if she could.
"Sometimes, I'm like damn, I wish I could do it all over," Kim said over FaceTime with her two sisters. "The one thing I would do is be so strict from the start."
New episodes of The Kardashians drop Thursdays at 12 a.m. ET/9 p.m. PT on Hulu.
