The Kardashian-Jenner siblings are no stranger to a camera and the 13 children they share between them have become accustomed to growing up in the spotlight.
Though you may think reality TV stars play fast and loose with the parenting rules when it comes to their famous broods, don’t be mistaken – there is a certain rule that Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe Kardashian impose on their children, and they are strict about it.

We are sure Kylie Jenner‘s two adorable children Stormi and Aire and Rob‘s daughter Dream follow suit.

Kris Jenner has spoken frequently about her role as a grandmother. In an interview for Next Question with Katie Couric, the star admitted she “craves seeing my grandkids.”

“I always speak my mind… when you feel like making a comment or offering unsolicited advice. I’m sure I annoy them constantly, my kids, Kris confessed.

© @khloekardashian InstagramKhloe Kardashian, in particular, takes after Kris in her no-nonsense approach to parenting. In an episode of Vanity Fair‘s web series, the 39-year-old mom-of-two detailed her non-negotiable sleeping arrangement rule with her six-year-old daughter True, whom she shares with her basketball-playing ex, Tristan Thompson.
The Good American founder was asked if she would allow True to have a sleepover at Kourtney’s house, to which she answered: “Probably not.”

Khloe favours a structured parenting style over Kourt’s attachment approach. “I am really strict,” Khloe admitted in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. “I have a schedule. I’m very militant with how I parent True, and I believe that a schedule saves everything.”
