In a new podcast episode, reality TV star Khloé Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner, discussed co-parenting and their family dynamics.

During the Thursday, March 13, episode of her “Khloé In Wonder Land” podcast, Khloé Kardashian told Kris Jenner that she hates when people refer to her sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as her half-sisters.

Kris Jenner is mom to Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Robert Kardashian with her first husband, the late Robert Kardashian.

The 69-year-old is also mom to Kendall and Kylie Jenner, whom she shares with her second former spouse, Caitlyn Jenner.

“I absolutely despise when people call Kendall and Kylie our half-sisters,” Khloé Kardashian told Kris Jenner, who was surprised by her daughter’s admission.

“Because I’m like, ‘No, those are my real sisters.’ I was born and raised with them. Spent every minute with them, and so I really find that insulting when people say that about us. So I don’t like that term. None of us like that term,” Khloé Kardashian continued.

“I don’t even think about that term,” Kris Jenner admitted. “We don’t use that term.”

Khloé Kardashian says she doesn’t hate much, but she hates when people “recognize the divide” between her and Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

Khloé Kardashian said her disdain for the term half-siblings comes from her parents blending their families so well.

In fact, she said it was how Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian co-parented before his death that gave her the blueprint to create a successful co-parenting relationship with the father of her own children, NBA player Tristan Thompson.

“I know from my personal experience with Tristan and how we’re such good co-parenters because of the example that I’ve had my whole life from you and my dad’s dynamic, and Bruce and my dad’s dynamic,” Khloé Kardashian explained.

“It’s all I saw. So for me, it was a no brainer,” she continued. “And I do really think that, yes, you don’t need that example. You can do it on your own, but when you have that example, it’s all you know, and it’s just embedded in you, and it’s so easy.”

As result, Khloé Kardashian said it’s “so peaceful for my children.”

“Peaceful is a great, important, powerful word,” Kris Jenner continued. “My job as a mom was to make sure you were safe and you felt loved and secure in a really special place, and that was the most important thing to me.”

But because she and Robert Kardashian were connected forever because they had children together, Kris Jenner said it was important for them to continue to share the big moments even though they were no longer married.

Eventually, Robert Kardashian became known to Kendall and Kylie Jenner as Uncle Robert.

Khloé Kardashian added that she wishes more “people would put their own ego and issues aside for the betterment of children, because it makes such a difference in the long run.”
