Kourtney Kardashian’s daughter leaves her in tears: ‘She’s taking pics of me’
Kourtney Kardashian is getting emotional, and it’s all because of her 12-year-old daughter Penelope Disick.
On Tuesday, June 3, Kardashian posted a photo on her Instagram story showing herself upset and in tears over Penelope.
“Me crying (because) my baby girl is done with 6th grade,” Kardashian captioned the image captured by Penelope, seemingly making light of her mom’s tears. “She’s taking pics of me.”
The photo comes after the 46-year-old mom of seven said she prefers to go “against the grain” when it comes to raising her kids and her criticism of traditional education.

When she was a guest on sister Khloe Kardashian’s podcast, “Khloé in Wonder Land,” on May 22, Kourtney Kardashian opened up “living authentically” and her dislike of the traditional school system.
“I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is,” she explained. “For me, there’s ways we function as a family that it’s like, if someone does the same thing every day, like, I do it with everything, it’s not (just) about our family.”
“Let’s say the school system. I’ll think, ‘Why do kids … go to school?’ Truly, it’s so dated,” Kourtney Kardashian used as an example of challenging the social norms.
Despite not going into detail about why she feels getting a traditional education is “dated,” she said she’ll “start thinking,” then “my kids will send me videos about, like, ‘Why do kids go to (school)?’”
“It’ll be like, really successful people, and they’ll be like, ‘My kids never go to school and they’re never going to’ and whatever,” Kourtney Kardashian continued. “And then I’m like, ‘Okay, what’s the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let’s do it.’”
In addition to Penelope, she shares 15-year-old Mason and 10-year-old Reign with her ex-partner Scott Disick and 1-year-old Rocky with her husband Travis Barker.
Kardashian is also a stepmom to Barker’s children from his previous relationships, 21-year-old Landon and 19-year-old Alabama, in addition to his 26-year-old stepdaughter, Atiana De La Hoya.
