North West spent a full year angry at her mother, Kim Kardashian, after the split from Kanye West — so angry that she once told Kourtney Kardashian she preferred her father’s life in an apartment over Kim’s high-security, staff-filled home. The revelation, made during a recent episode of The Kardashians, has resurfaced as a key moment in the evolving mother-daughter relationship. At the time, the 13-year-old was deeply affected by the divorce, often calling Kanye ‘the best’ and questioning why Kim couldn’t be more like him, less structured, less guarded, less… rich. She’d cry, asking, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.’ The emotional distance wasn’t just North’s. Kourtney Kardashian recalled similar reactions from her own children when they stayed with Scott Disick: ‘Dad has the best house,’ they’d say. ‘Your house sucks.’ The vibe there was better. The contrast between two parenting styles. Kanye’s low-key, hands-on approach versus Kim’s carefully managed household, became a battleground for a child caught between worlds. But things changed. In a later episode, Kim described the shift as ‘the craziest thing’. Now, North is the one initiating love: calling her mom ‘the best’, including her in friend group chats, and declaring, ‘Mom, I love you. You’re the best mom.’ Kourtney, who co-parents Mason, Penelope, and Reign with Disick, echoed the sentiment, saying North had become her sister’s ‘lesson’. A daily reminder of patience, humility, and what it means to parent under constant scrutiny. The journey hasn’t been linear. It’s been messy, public, and raw. Still, the pivot is clear: the daughter who once blamed her mother for not being simpler now celebrates her fiercely. And while Kim is now dating Lewis Hamilton, the real story remains in the quiet moments between her and North, the ones where the past isn’t erased, but finally understood. The next episode drops this Friday.
