Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian discuss sending kids to school being ‘so dated'
The oldest Kardashian sister recently appeared as a guest on Khloé Kardashian's 'Khloé in Wonder Land' podcast, which streams on X. During their wide-ranging conversation, Kardashian asked her sister to reveal her least favorite memory involving the two of them.
Kardashian Barker explained why she wasn't a fan of the 'era' where Kardashian and sister Kim Kardashian would 'gang up on' her. The mom of four said she became 'sensitive' at the time and also started therapy, which led to her 'challenging' the status quo and how their family functioned.
She then shared that rejecting norms extended to other areas of her life, like motherhood.
'I feel like I love to just go against the grain,' she said. 'I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is.'
The 46-year-old reality television star continued, 'It's not (just) about our family. Like, let's say the school system. I'll think, 'Why do kids f— go to school, really? So dated.'
Her younger sister chimed in to agree. 'Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So, don't even get me going,' Kardashian said.
Kardashian Barker shares three children — Mason Dash Disick, 15, Penelope Scotland Disick, 12, and Reign Aston Disick, 10 — with ex Scott Disick and 1-year-old son Rocky with husband Travis Barker.
She said her kids send her videos dissecting the education system that feature 'really successful people' who never send their children to school.
'Then I'm like, OK, what's the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let's do it,' Kardashian Barker said.
Her unique parenting style impacts how she cares for her children, as well.
'I will, like, nurse the fever of my kids, versus giving Tylenol or Ibuprofen,' she added. 'I just, like, want to do that.'
Kardashian Barker has discussed uncommon aspects of her parenting style in the past.
In 2022, she revealed during an interview with WSJ Magazine that Mason, then 12, did not eat french fries for an entire year.
'Today I was having my one-on-one time with my son (Mason) and he said, 'Mom, I need McDonald's french fries today, please. It's been a year since I've had it.' I was like, 'Today's not the day, sorry,'' she said at the time.
Kardashian Barker explained that while she enjoyed potato chips, Lunchables and more foods during her childhood, she decided to limit what her children eat.
'When I had Mason is when I really started my wellness journey,' she told the publication. 'He's very smart. He'll tell me, 'A person was bad because they let me have Cheetos.''
She also previously said, according to People, that she only feeds her children meals that do not contain gluten or dairy.

Kim Kardashian declares Kanye West's personality has ‘changed' in trailer for intimate new documentary
Kanye West is offering an intimate glimpse into his life, amid growing psychological struggles, in a new documentary titled In Whose Name?. The film, from 18-year-old filmmaker Nico Ballesteros, features exclusive, never-before-seen footage of West — now known as Ye — captured by Ballesteros across six years. The documentary's first trailer, released Wednesday, opens with the rapper declaring in a voiceover: 'I'm off my meds for five months now.' 'Your personality was not like this a few years ago,' West's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, responds, audibly distressed. 'It's a calling by the universe,' the 'Flashing Lights' artist's voice continues over a montage of him in an open flatland and riding in a car next to his and Kardashian's eldest daughter, North. 'Never tell me one day I'm gonna wake up with nothing,' he adds. An additional sequence of clips follows, showing West hosting one of his infamous Sunday Service events, visiting a prison, holding up a homemade 'Ye4President' poster, and telling a crowd at a 2020 rally that he 'almost' had his daughter aborted. 'I would rather be dead than be on medication…' he vows. 'Either they destroy me or I destroy it.. I'm almost like a masochist… I write whatever I want when I want! It's words!' The teaser concludes with West noting that 'the best thing about being an artist and bipolar' is 'anything you do and say is an art piece.' West — who in recent years has suffered a public downfall over shocking antisemitic and racist social media rants — first spoke about his 'mental condition' when promoting his 2018 album Ye. In the song 'Yikes,' he described his bipolar disorder as a 'superpower.' He has since insisted that the previous bipolar diagnosis was inaccurate and that his erratic behavior is due to autism. In Whose Name? 'reveals a side of Ye the world was never meant to see — raw, unfiltered, and suspended in the complexity of fame, faith, mental health, and power,' an official description reads. 'What began as a silent observation evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth,' it adds. 'Immersed in Ye's world of extremes, [Ballesteros] bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil, but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye's world.' In Whose Name? is set to release in select theaters September 19.

McDonald's in Japan nixes Happy Meal Pokemon card promotion after collectors ditch untouched food, trash at stores
McDonald's locations in Japan were forced to cancel a Happy Meal promotion featuring limited edition Pokemon cards because collectors swarmed stores — leaving behind piles of untouched food and trash, according to a report. The golden arches announced that two limited edition cards would be included in each 'Happy Set' sold in Japan, which retail for roughly $3.50, according to the Associated Press. Each 'Happy Set' — the Japan's 'Happy Meal' equivalent — was guaranteed to have a Pikachu card, which featured art of the rat-like critter reaching for a burger. Cutthroat card collectors took advantage of the offer — flocking to locations and buying out the 'Happy Sets' solely for the collectible card. Many of the card sharks simply dumped their food in front of the restaurants after making away with their Pokemon memorabilia which was intended to be a promotion for children, according to CNN. Those cards were then reportedly relisted en masse online with sellers asking for as much as $28. There are roughly 3,000 McDonald's locations in Japan, according to the company. Bloomberg via Getty Images McDonald's said they would not abide profiteering and wastefulness and quickly shut down the promotion. 'We do not believe in abandoning and discarding food. This situation goes against our longtime philosophy that we have cherished as a restaurant to 'offer a fun dining experience for children and families,'' the company said in a statement obtained by CNN. 'We sincerely accept that our preparations had not been adequate.' The company said that for the next Pokemon promotion they will limit the number each person could buy and end online orders. Many Pikachu cards online can sell for over $1,000 —- with the most expensive Pikachu card ever sold going to streamer Logan Paul for $5.27 million, which he later lost. Many card collectors ordered their 'Happy Sets' online and bought out the stock meant for children. X/@sikasika1122 Last week, Milwaukee Brewers rookie all-star phenom, pitcher Jacob Misiorowksi, went viral when he pulled a rare Charizard card out of a booster Pokemon pack while sitting in the clubhouse after beating the Mets.
