Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian<\/strong> is getting called out online after sharing what she described as a \u201cfunny\u201d parenting moment involving her 3-year-old son, Tatum Thompson<\/strong>, during a recent episode of her podcast, \u201cKhlo\u00e9 In Wonder Land.\u201d<\/p>\n The reality star opened up about a chaotic incident that unfolded at a kindergarten graduation party hosted by her longtime best friend, Malika Haqq<\/strong>, for her son Ace. But while Khlo\u00e9 appeared amused while retelling the story, many listeners weren\u2019t laughing.<\/p>\n Khlo\u00e9<\/a>, who shares daughter True<\/a>, 8, and son Tatum, 3, with ex-partner Tristan Thompson<\/a>, explained that Tatum made it clear from the beginning that he didn\u2019t want to attend the celebration. \u201cOh my gosh. Tatum is so funny. If he doesn\u2019t wanna do something, he\u2019s such a Leo. He\u2019s like, \u2018I\u2019m not doing that,\u2019\u201d Khlo\u00e9 said on the podcast. \u201cEarlier in the day, I was like, \u2018We\u2019re gonna go to Ace\u2019s graduation lunch.\u2019 He was like, \u2018I don\u2019t wanna go!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Khlo\u00e9 admitted she brushed off his reaction at first.<\/strong> \u201cI was like, OK, he\u2019s 3. He\u2019s fine. He\u2019s gonna go,\u201d she explained. The event included several members of the Kardashian family, including Rob Kardashian\u2019s daughter Dream and Kim Kardashian\u2019s children Chicago and Psalm.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Khlo\u00e9, things spiraled almost immediately after they arrived. \u201cTatum comes in, and he was like, \u2018I don\u2019t wanna be here,\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cHe\u2019s looking down these stairs. He goes, \u2018OK, I\u2019m gonna make such a big mess.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Khlo\u00e9 said she initially thought he was simply expressing \u201cintrusive thoughts,\u201d but the toddler quickly acted on them. \u201cHe is just deliberately making a big mess,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s now at this water fountain, splashing water everywhere. He took the coloring books. True, Dream, and Chi are like, \u2018He\u2019s grabbing the candy!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The Good American founder compared her son to a cartoon whirlwind. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen someone faster in my life. He would just see a section, demolish it, go to the next section,\u201d she shared. \u201cHe was like the Tasmanian Devil tornado-ing through this party.\u201d<\/p>\n Khlo\u00e9 added that Tatum nearly flipped over the buffet table before she stopped him<\/strong>. \u201cI was like, \u2018No you\u2019re not, it\u2019s hot! It\u2019s, like, boiling water.\u2019 So he didn\u2019t do that, but it was so funny,\u201d she said. Eventually, Khlo\u00e9 called the family nanny to remove Tatum from the party after realizing he wasn\u2019t calming down. \u201cI was like, \u2018Are you nearby? \u2018Cause you have to come and get him. He doesn\u2019t wanna stay here, and I don\u2019t know what to do,\u2019\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n Khlo\u00e9 later defended her parenting and insisted she cleaned up the mess. She also emphasized that her children are typically \u201creally well behaved\u201d in public settings. \u201cMy kids don\u2019t throw tantrums,\u201d she said. \u201cTatum will throw a tantrum privately. He has big emotions. He\u2019s so smart and I think he thinks so much more than he can articulate.\u201d<\/p>\n Still, the internet had strong opinions about the story, particularly Khlo\u00e9 repeatedly calling the incident \u201cfunny.\u201d One listener commented, \u201cShe said it was funny like 5 times and I couldn\u2019t figure out what was so funny\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Another wrote, \u201cTrying to find the joke in this.\u201d<\/p>\n Some critics questioned how Malika may have felt during the destruction at her son\u2019s special event. \u201cDid Malika think it was funny\ud83e\udd14,\u201d one person asked.<\/p>\n Others took issue with Khlo\u00e9 attributing the behavior to astrology. \u201cStop blaming bad behavior on zodiac signs!\u201d another commenter wrote.<\/p>\n The parenting debate escalated further as some social media users accused Khlo\u00e9 of leaning too heavily into \u201cgentle parenting.\u201d Saying: \u201cThis is the gentle parenting that I will NEVER agree with! But to each its own!\u201d one critic posted.<\/p>\n![\"](\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/0693ce547f6c-screenshot-2026-04-06-at-100148-am.png\")
