Travis Barker Shares Rare Pic of His and Kourtney Kardashian’s Son Rocky on Mother’s Day

Kourtney Kardashian isn’t keeping up with the norm.

The Kardashians star recently shed light on how she reacts when her children are under the weather. (ICYMI, she is mom to kids Mason Disick, 15, Penelope Disick, 12, and Reign Disick, 10, with ex Scott Disick. Plus, she and husband Travis Barker share son Rocky, 18 months. Travis is also dad to Landon Barker, 21, and Alabama Barker, 20, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26.)

“I think living authentically is not conforming, to whatever it is,” she said on the May 21 episode of sister Khloe Kardashian’s podcast Khloe in Wonderland. “I will like nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or ibuprofen. I just want to do that.”

Her desire to go against the status quo stemmed from the ways their family has functioned over the years.

“Once I started therapy, I kind of started challenging the ways we did things sometimes, the way we all functioned,” Kourtney explained. “I love to just go against the grain.”

In fact, her thinking outside the box goes beyond the confines of her family.

“I do it with everything,” she said. “Like the school system, I’ll think, ‘Why do kids f--king go to school?’ Truly, it’s so dated.”

The 46-year-old added her kids will often send her videos about successful adults who didn’t have traditional schooling.

“So, then I’ll start thinking, okay what’s the goal here?” Kourtney added. “Want to do home school? Let’s do it.”

After all, she and Travis are learning as they go.

“I love my role as stepmom, because I don’t feel like its up to me to discipline,” Kourtney noted of her dynamic with Travis. “We’ve kind of allowed each other to—we’ll talk about it, he can handle the harder things. I definitely give advice or try to be a good role model.”

She continued, “Some days I’ve thought like, ‘Wow, this is really hard blending families.’ But even in the days that are hard, there’s so much more love. It’s such a deeper, richer existence.”
