In this article, we'll delve into the details of Kim's decision, her family dynamics, and how her ex-husband, Kanye West, reacted to the new addition to their children's lives.

Kim Kardashian, a mother of four, admits to struggling with strict discipline in her household. She attributes this difficulty to her parents' leniency when she was growing up. Given her busy lifestyle, she felt the need for a partner who could share the responsibility of discipline and child-rearing. This desire led to the introduction of a male nanny into her family.
"It's really hard for me to be really strict and to discipline a lot. My parents weren't strict at all and sometimes because I'm really busy, it would be amazing if I had a partner who would tap me out and take over and handle it but, you know, it can't happen like that."

Kim describes her family as "very female-dominated," which spurred her decision to hire a male nanny. She believed that having a male p around, especially for her son, Saint, would be beneficial. Her decision to hire a "manny" initially raised concerns about how her ex-husband, Kanye West, would react.
"I really wanted a male around that would be picking them up and taking them to sports, and I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad that.”

Kim was hesitant to inform Kanye West about the male nanny but was pleasantly surprised by his response. When Kanye met the nanny, he not only welcomed him but also set expectations for his role in Saint's life. Kanye emphasized the importance of teaching their son to be self-reliant and not making things too easy for him. Kim stated:
“I was scared out of my mind to tell their dad (about the manny.) When he was dropping off the kids, Kanye introduced himself and played (soccer) with Saint and him. He was so nice to him. I was like, ‘Oh my god. OK. That’s great.’”
