For context, the sisters’ different parenting styles have been a huge source of contention between them for quite some time now, with Kim and Khloé often feeling judged by Kourtney, who has chosen to prioritize motherhood and being home with her kids over everything else.
Kourtney shares three kids — 15-year-old Mason, 13-year-old Penelope, and 10-year-old Reign — with her ex Scott Disick, and a baby named Rocky, who is now 2, with her husband, Travis Barker.

In this week’s Kardashians instalment, Kourtney decided to leave a surprise party thrown for Kim — in honor of her graduating from her Law Office Study Program — early in order to get home and breastfeed Rocky, who was 1-and-a-half at the time of filming.“Since I’m on a breastfeeding schedule, I have a maximum time that I will leave the baby, and that’s four hours,” she said.

Kourtney explained that while she would have potentially stayed a little longer, she decided to abruptly leave when she saw the seating arrangements for the meal. “Initially, they had me sitting next to Kim. I get there, and Khloé’s next to Kim, and I’m at the end of the table next to our attorney. No offence to our attorney, but I don’t know our attorney. I’ve only met her once,” she said.

Khloé then revealed that she and Kourtney were meant to drive to the party together about an hour early, but Kourt needed to leave later. “I was getting nails done, breastfeeding, getting my hair done, getting glam, trying to get dressed,” she said.

“It took me an hour and a half to drive to Kim’s graduation. Stayed there for an hour, and then an hour to drive home. That’s a lot for me, for my day, to be away from my baby that I’m breastfeeding,” Kourtney said in a confessional.

Khloé then suggested that Rocky would’ve been totally fine for a while longer away from his mom. However, Kourtney noted that it was important for her to stick to her breastfeeding schedule, given that her baby was between 0 and 3 years old.When Khloé pointed out that her son, Tatum, was 2-and-a-half, Kourtney replied, “So you should get your ass home, shouldn’t you?”

“I don’t need to!” Khloé hit back, before questioning in a confessional: “Why are we mom-shaming? I’m with my kids all the time. I just wanna sit here and enjoy a little cake.”

Khloé also said of Kourt: “She doesn’t want us to judge her, but she’s always judging us.”
In a separate confessional, Kim branded Kourtney as “very judgmental.” “All of us prioritize our kids. To judge when you’re not even around to see is why we have such an issue with it,” she said.

This clip went viral on X and TikTok after the Kardashians episode aired this week, and it has since sparked a load of discourse.Many viewers agreed that they felt Kourtney was at fault. One person said, “Since I’m breastfeeding….since I’m breastfeeding…since I’m breastfeeding…. it’s a normal thing that mothers do,” while another wrote, “Mind you- mothers leave their children 8 hrs a day to work… those babies are also probably breastfed.”

“Kourtney is being insufferable. I don’t even follow along but this clip is extremely draining,” someone tweeted. “You’d swear she discovered breastfeeding… She brings it up every chance she gets,” another person said, while one more user suggested, “Kourtney thinks she’s the only mom in the world.”
Meanwhile, several people questioned why Kourtney didn’t bring Rocky to the party, which had other KarJenner kids in attendance.
But on the flip side, several people defended Kourtney. “She didn’t mom shame anyone. She just has her own style of parenting,” one X user suggested, while another person agreed, “It’s interesting that they say she shames them when she just wants to be with her baby lmao.”

“This is the first time Kourtney being judgmental felt forced… like they all planned this scene lol. They’re tryna bring back the KUWTK vibes,” someone else wrote.
