Kim Kardashian might be worth hundreds of millions of dollars but she says all the money in the world can't help single parenting.
The reality TV star has opened up on the struggles of raising four children alone after her divorce with Kanye West.
She's previously been honest about trying to juggle the lives of North, Saint, Psalm and Chicago.
While she employs nannies and has a chef on hand to cook the family meals whenever they want, it's still a lot to handle.

In an episode for The Kardashians, the 43-year-old said: "I think I'm still learning how to be a single parent and I just did the Jay Shetty podcast where I spoke about parenting and, I mean I should be used to it now, but everyone had a lot to say."
In that podcast, she explained that single parenting has taught her the most about herself.
Kim added that bed time is particularly difficult because they all want to go to sleep at the same time and she lamented that 'you can't divide yourself and you have to just work with what you have'.
On her TV show, she said: "The struggles that my kids go through really have nothing to do with the amount of help that I have.
"Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful.
"It's all about family and enjoying these moments.
"It takes a village to raise kids, but at the end of the day, your kids only want you."
In a separate confessional, she outlined how much she has on her plate.
"The one thing everyone has in common is just the amount of time that we have, and I'm raising four kids and I split my time with my work, my family, my four kids, and I want to make sure my kids have 90 per cent of that," she said.
Kim revealed in another episode how an unlikely member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan came to her aid with parenting.
She explained that Tristan Thompson, Khloe's cheating ex-boyfriend and father to her two children, offered to help.
“Oh, I know guys are gonna hate me for this and you’re gonna hate us and you’re gonna think Khloe is whatever… So it’s like you wanna obviously like hate him for that...Yeah, of course, his actions and who he was, like so f***ed up."
However, she then went on to explain how she’s ‘struggled’ as a single mom, with Tristan stepping in to help her out.
“But he’s also shown so many decent things and just has been a really good person and friend. When he saw me struggling with my kids, he stepped up,” she added.
