Their lives may look perfect, but even celebrity parents get fed up with their misbehaving kids!

Social media broke the fourth wall between Hollywood stars and the average Joe. While it’s nice for fans to live vicariously through celebrities’ lush lives, it’s even better when they reveal the same struggles. Case in point: Kids.

“Everyone says the days are long and the years are short, and that couldn’t be like a more true statement,” Kim Kardashian admitted during a May 2023 interview on the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast. “So, like, when you’re in it, I mean, especially when they’re babies and you’re feeding … there’s madness going on. It’s like full madness. It’s the best chaos though.”

The A-list reality star isn’t the only celebrity to open up about her disobedient little ones.

Kim Kardashian

The reality star admits she’s a pushover when it comes to her four kids, North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, with ex Kanye West. “Sometimes it gets just like a little intense,” the 43-year-old recently complained. “I want to be more strict like [sister] Khloé [Kardashian] but I don’t know why I have a hard time just saying ‘no is no.’ I think I also just don’t want to deal with the whining and the tears of not getting their way.” Instead, she said, she sometimes locks herself in the bathroom!

Zoe Saldaña

The Star Trek actress has three sons with husband Marco Perego, 9-year-old twins Cy and Bowie and 7-year-old Zen. “It’s fun as hell,” the 46-year-old said of being a boy mom, but added, “At all times — every waking minute of your day — is spent trying to talk someone from beating someone else, or burning the house down, or flashing a neighbor, or smelling someone else’s butt.”

Hilary Duff

“Kids are annoying, I’m not going to lie,” the mom to Luca, 12 (with ex Mike Comrie), and Banks, 5, Mae, 3, and Townes, 3 months, her daughters with husband Matthew Koma.“When I get in bed every single night and we’re like, ‘Oh my God, do we hate our kids or what?’ And then we wake up and the next day’s a new day and we’re like, ‘We’re so freaking grateful for our kids,’” the 36-year-old said, adding, “They’re funny and they make us laugh and they also frustrate the hell out of us.”

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi

When her kids Lorenzo, 11, Giovanna, 9, and 5-year-old Angelo are acting up, the Jersey Shore alum gives them the cold shoulder. “I literally just walk into the kitchen, ignore them… and then they come over and they say, ‘I’m OK now,’ ” the 36-year-old revealed. “The more you pay attention to that [bad behavior], the worse it gets.” She should know!

“They can be assholes,” the Oscar winner, 48, joked of her kids Jackson, 11, and 9-year-old August, adding that they don’t exactly treat her like a movie star. “I’m just trying to keep my head above water, because they are smart and they are witty and they are firecrackers, but they do not go, ‘Oh my God, Mom, you’re so amazing,’” she griped in a recent interview. “They’re like, ‘Excuse me, I need. I want!’”

Buckle up! The 47-year-old recently revealed that Jack, 11, her son with ex Chris Pratt, is starting to go through puberty. “He told me that he thinks he has an armpit hair,” Anna told hosts Hoda Kotb and Justin Sylvester on Today on July 15. “It’s happening!” The House Bunny star also said the tween drives her “crazy” in a very relatable way: “He’s like, ‘Mom, where’s my backpack?’ when it’s right there!”
