Juggling both the upbringing and careers of her six children, Kris Jenner certainly had her work cut out for her as a 'momager'.
Being a parent is stressful enough in its own right, so getting involved in your children's careers just takes things to a whole new level - even more so when those kids are the Kardashian-Jenners.
Still, Kris has come out of the other side with a fully-grown, successful brood, and Kim Kardashian opened up about how she made it to the other side as she discussed parenting responsibilities during an interview with Vogue Italia.

With four kids of her own, Kim admitted she had 'a lot' to manage, and that she always tries to be truthful about family life when sharing it with the world.
"On social media I'll always post the sassy photo or the cutest shot, but I'll definitely make sure to include one where my kids might not be getting along that well because I think it's really important to understand that too," she explained.
"I look at a lot of my friends and their kids are perfect and I don't know how to do it and I don't understand it and I'm envious and it's amazing all at the same time. There's a lot in a household with four, four different personalities.
"I feel so lucky and blessed to have help, but no matter how much help you have, your babies want their mommy, you have to be the one to solve every problem and act like you have it all together.
"I have so much respect for parents and now I can't believe what my mom went through."
Looking back on her younger years, Kim has asked her mum how she coped with six kids and 'six big personalities'.
"We're all so different, how did you really handle it?," Kim recalled asking her mum.
And every parent has their own way of coping, some of which are slightly healthier than others.
Where some might try to shut themselves a way with a nice bubble bath, Kris apparently opted for something a little more intoxicating.
Kim explained: "She is just like: 'Why do you think I had my vodka at 5:00 o'clock every day?'"
Alcohol shouldn't be overly relied on to help cope, but it can definitely help take the edge off when drunk responsibly.
And as for Kim, she chooses to wind down by lying in bed.
She explained: "My perfect day of relaxation would just be to lay in bed and watch TV. Right now I'm in the middle of getting ready to do interviews for my TV show."
