Kim Kardashian can't catch a break from mommy shamers.
Parenting is an extremely personal experience. No matter how many kids you have, you can't always be sure of your decisions. The parents in Kim's comments apparently feel differently, never hesitating to tell her how she should be raising her kids. Critics can't help but point out the things they deem inappropriate. The latest attack is a fairly absurd one. The mom of four has been slammed by trolls for letting her 6-year-old daughter North wear hoop earrings.
The outrage came after Kim shared a sweet photo of her and North from their vacation in the Bahamas. In the sweet photo, the mother and daughter are pinkie swearing. Both are in swimwear, with Kim accessorizing with a cowboy hat. It's North's accessory, though, that bothered the mommy shamers, who felt it was inappropriate for the little girl to be wearing such large hoop earrings. The earrings are clearly not North's, and Kim has yet to respond to the ridiculous criticism.
If you keep up with the Kardashians at all, you know that Kim Kardashian has a budding fashionista on her hands. Kim's 6-year-old daughter, North West, has inherited all of both mom's and dad's love of fashion.
North isn't afraid to take risks when it comes to fashion. She's got quite the eye for her age — and fairly unlimited resources when it comes to her parents and what they have at their disposal. She's surprisingly creative with her choices.
Kim even let North style herself on the family's recent trip to Japan. She shared North's looks on Instagram.
"My Northie girl is the ultimate fashionista! She comes with me to fabric stores and picks out what she likes and for our Japan trip, I let her style herself," Kim revealed. "I should have let her style me too lol. She loves it. She’s having fun and I am so happy she’s so expressive. ."
Given North's interest in fashion, it's not altogether surprising when she decides to try out a new look or accessory. During a family trip to the Bahamas, for example, North decided to wear a bandage on her leg as an accessory.
It's another accessory from the Bahamas trip that got mommy shamers in an uproar, however. Kim shared a sweet photo from the trip of her and North exchanging a pinkie swear in a restaurant. It's an absolutely adorable mommy-and-me shot.
"Pinky swear we’re besties for life!!!" Kim captioned the shot. While family and friends flooded the comments complimenting the pictures, mommy shamers weren't too thrilled to see North sporting some serious hoop earrings in the photo.
"So cute but my daughter WOULD NEVER be wearing those big hoop earring at such a young age come on mama keep your baby girl humble! some beautiful diamond stubs fit so much better on a young girl," one commenter wrote.
"Kim ur letting ur daughter wear hoops that big what the h*lll…she has grow up to fast …" quipped another commenter, who also thought it was inappropriate for North to be wearing the earrings.
It's safe to assume the earrings don't actually belong to North, of course. Upon further investigation of photos from the trip, it's easy to see who North was channeling with those big hoops. Check out this picture of Kim, Khloé Kardashian, and La La Anthony from the trip.
Looking for some more proof? Look no further than Khloé's own photos from the trip. The earrings look like a match. Hoop earrings are also a pretty common accessory for Khloé. It seems like North was just playing dress-up with a little help from her aunt.
Of course, this isn't the first time Kim has caught slack related to North. In the past, Kim has been shamed about allowing North to wear makeup. She's also been criticized for letting North occasionally get her hair straightened.
It's been a long time since Kim clapped back at a mommy shamer. At this point, so many trolls come to her page to criticize her and get some attention that she's figured the best way to handle it is to just ignore them.
At the end of the day, Kim and Kanye are the only ones who can say what is and what isn't appropriate for any of their children. Everyone can only control what their own kids are up to, no matter how much they voice their opinions.
Kim is bound to encounter a lot more mommy shaming down the road as a mother of four. She seems to have things under control. Her kids are happy, healthy, and loved. The rest is none of anyone's business.
