From Apartment Anger to Mom Love: North West’s Year-Long War With Kim Ends in a Hug

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.
