14 Times You Can Relate To The Kardashians
It sometimes feels like we just can't relate to the Kardashians since they lead such extravagant lifestyles. Thinking about the lavish parties and events, magazine shoots, endorsements deals, and designer clothes that are part of their worlds, it definitely seems like your life couldn't be any more different from this famous family. Not to mention that the Kardashians' closest friends are Hollywood royalty like actors, fashion icons, and musicians. Their friends are a lot more successful and well-known than yours, to say the least. Yet there are still tons of ways that you can relate to the Kardashians. Though they lead luxurious lives in the spotlight, this famous family still have normal qualities and you might even see glimpses of your own relatives in them if you look closely enough. Whether it's when the sisters give each other a hard time, how everyone always needs their mom, or when the girls get real about normal girl struggles, you have more in common with them than you thought. Here are 15 times when you related to this famous clan.
14 When Kim Got Angry At Khloe For Waking Her Up
The older you get, the less time you have for sleeping in. You also tend to get a lot crankier in the morning, especially before you've had your daily dose of caffeine. A lot of us could relate to Kim's reaction when her younger sister Khloe woke her up. Kim sent Khloe a series of nasty texts insulting her, which the latter then read out loud for the Keeping Up with the Kardashians cameras. Many people think Kim overreacted. While we can agree that there was probably no need for foul language, most of us would definitely consider sending this kind of text to someone who woke us up. Though we may not press the "send" button, these are typical feelings you'd have towards someone who didn't let you get your beauty rest. At least this will ensure Khloe never wakes her up again. But knowing the Kardashian sisters, that probably didn't happen.
13 When Kim Didn't Want To Start Her Diet
Just because the Kardashians have enviable bodies does not mean they do not work hard for them. The reality show has chronicled the girls' struggles to maintain a certain physique, which has included rigorous exercising and difficult diets. Kim has often expressed her hatred towards restricting her diet, though she also understands the necessity not only for her career but for health reasons. This gif captures an onscreen moment where she resolved that she will just start her diet tomorrow… something most people have said to themselves at one time or another. It is proof that Kim struggles with dieting and the temptation of food just like everyone else, meaning the Kardashians are a bit more relatable than they may seem. But even Kim gives in to her cravings and has days where she disregards her diet, which means there is nothing wrong with doing the same every once and a while.
12 When The Girls Give Each Other A Hard Time (About Everything)
One thing that is so relatable about the Kardashian sisters is how normal their relationships with each other are. The family has always presented a united front, so the sisters are always supportive, loving, and encouraging of each other. But they also are known to give each other a hard time, just as any close sisters do. They're constantly making jokes about each other on camera or even giving each other a hard time on social media. Whether they're poking fun at each others' relationships or careers, dissing their looks, or just being trolls, these girls love being pain's in each other's butts. When Kourtney revealed her pregnancy to Khloe, not only did Khloe congratulate her, but she also had to make a jab at the pregnancy weight she'd gain. Siblings always take whatever shots they can to make a joke at the expensive of each other (lovingly, of course), so this is just a testament to the strong bond the girls all have with each other.
11 When They All Needed Their Mom
Even though the three Kardashian girls are in their mid-thirties and Kendall and Kylie are already young adults, the girls always prove that they still need their mom. The girls even call Kris Jenner "Momager" and she's basically the very definition of a matriarch. Not only is she a loving and supportive mother of a huge family, she is also a talented business woman, who has helped launch and support her all of her daughter's careers. Her girls even hired her as their full-time managers, proving how close this family is. No matter if it's a personal or professional concern, the Kardashian girls always need their mom, which is so relatable to every mother-daughter relationship. No matter the ups and downs of your relationship with your mom (even if it includes a tape and 72-day marriage), she is always the person you turn to in times of need. Even the Kardashians know how important our moms are.
10 When They Knew The Importance Of Alcohol
If there is one thing that we have in common with the Kardashians, it is that we all know and love alcohol. You enjoy a glass of wine after coming home from work… and, well, so do the Kardashians. Especially matriarch Kris Jenner. Not every family enjoys drinking together, but the Kardashians definitely do. You are all super sophisticated, right? Whether they are indulging in fancy cocktails at a red carpet event or drinking red wine at each other's homes, many members of the family enjoy the luxury of fine wine and hard alcohol. Kris definitely shows off her talent for downing a bottle, proving her experience with high-class booze. Each of the Kardashian girls have had their phase of partying with socialites like Paris Hilton (how can you forget such a time), so they are also no strangers to alcohol. Even their significant others (we are looking at you, Scott) enjoy a strong drink.
9 When Khloe Got Real About That Time Of The Month
Leave it to Khloe to say the most relatable thing about periods. Though we'll never understand how this natural phenomenon became a taboo subject, many people avoid the topic of menstruation because it seems awkward and gross and uncomfortable. But it's a regular thing and, oh yeah, it kind of sucks, so it's nice to see a celebrity get real about the downsides of being a female. On Keeping Up, Khloe let the world know what every female is thinking, by explaining how painful and uncomfortable periods can be. Khloe is definitely the most outspoken member of the entire family, so her one-liners are often hilarious and very relatable. Whatever she says reminds you that, on the inside, she's a normal human being like everyone else. Though she and her family may live in huge mansions with elaborate things and endless cash, she still has to endure normal things like periods. If that's not relatable, then we don't know what is.
8 When They Were Social Media Obsessed
It's obvious that the Kardashians are a social media-obsessed family. Each member has their own Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook pages with millions of likes and followers. Plus, most of them even have their own websites or apps where they connect with the rest of the world. Their reality show demonstrates how much of the girls' lives revolve around social media and they definitely are careful about every single post and comment. And, when you think about it, that's not too far from your own life. While you may not get hundreds of thousands of likes on each of your photos, you're definitely obsessed with social media on some level. You probably don't go less than an hour without checking some social website or at least texting someone. You probably think about posts before making them, even if it's just to check for grammar mistakes. We live in an age where everyone is increasingly preoccupied with social media, so that's definitely one thing you and the Kardashians have in common.
7 When Kris Tried To Be Frugal
The Kardashians may be ridiculously wealthy (every member is worth a few million dollars all on their own), but that doesn't stop them from trying to be frugal every now and then. There was once a time on the show when Kris was trying to save money on gas, even though that was by getting someone to send the family a car instead of driving their own. She was attempting to make the whole family a bit more financially savvy, though Bruce (now Caitlyn) was having none of it. Whether you're on a regular budget or not, you've definitely tried to be frugal once in your adult life. Whether you were looking to save on gas or cut grocery expenses, needing to save money is a reality of growing up. Both you and the Kardashians have looked for ways to cut costs in the past. The only difference is you may have to still do that, while we're pretty sure the Kardashians are sitting comfortable for a while.
6 When Khloe Didn't Want To Hang Out With Her Mom
While you obviously love your parents, that doesn't mean you want to spend unnecessary alone time with them. Parents have a tendency to introduce themselves into your personal life when you hang out with them, often wanting to know the details of who you're dating and when you're going to give them grandkids. So it was totally relatable when Khloe was less than enthusiastic to hang out with Kris. It's not that you don't love spending time with your parents, it's just that there are certain things you can't do when you're with them. You probably want to skip out on the alcohol and gossiping about your friend's personal lives, so that can leave conversation a bit dry. Plus, inquisitions into your personal life by mom or dad are never fun, especially since you definitely have to control what information they do and do not know. Sometimes hanging out with your parents is the least fun thing to do.
5 When Kourtney Just Wanted Food
Since the Kardashians have to be so concerned with their appearance, you would not think they are huge foodies, but they totally are. Keeping Up with the Kardashians has often captured moments where the girls just want to eat their emotions with a bowl of ice cream or just want to order in and not worry about calories. Kourtney did not want to talk about her weight anymore, instead suggesting they just go have dinner, which should be the way you end every conversation about your weight. There are definitely times you have wanted to point a middle finger to your diet and give in to your cravings, and the Kardashians can totally relate. Worrying about your weight all the time is tiring. While the Kardashians eat healthy the majority of the time, they know the importance in sometimes rewarding yourself and letting yourself indulge. Let Kourtney be your role model.
4 When They Trash Talk Each Other's Exes
A best friend (or sister) always says what you can't say but what you really, really need to hear. They're the person who is there to trash your ex-boyfriend, even though you don't want to say anything unkind. They're the one to complain about how much you both dislike someone, even though you're in a position where you can't say those things. To put it simply, a best friend has a very important role. The sisters have proved how supportive they are of each other time and time again, including not being afraid to say what everyone is thinking about each other's exes. When Kim was being interviewed about her short marriage to Kris Humphries, she tried to avoid saying anything negative to the press in order to avoid backlash. At the time, her ex-husband was suing for an annulment, alleging she frauded him into marriage. To show the world who's really the bad guy, Kourtney chimed in saying what was on her mind. You would totally do the same if you sister or bestie was in the situation, proving how enviable the Kardashian sisters' relationships with each other are.
3 When They're All About TMI
You know you are close with someone when you are not afraid to get super real, and okay, graphic about bodily fluids and functions. Every girl has that one friend she can get a bit too TMI with without fear of judgment. The Kardashians prove they have that with each other, with all the sisters being unafraid to be gross and talk about questionable things with each other. On camera, Kourtney was talking about her v-zone problems in relation to pregnancy to her younger sister, Khloe. To them, it was just a normal conversation, which is what you hope you'd have if you ever brought up the same thing to your bestie. The girls have done a ton of other wacky things with each other, including showing one another questionable bumps in unmentionable places and providing graphic details of intimate moments. You wish you were this comfortable with your own sister.
2 When Kourtney And Scott Were Super Cute
Kourtney and Scott have always been the ultimate #relationshipgoals. You probably have one significant other (past or present) who reminds you of their enviable relationships, what with their playful bantering, witty comebacks, and affectionate PDA, not to mention their three adorable kids. Even if you feel you've never had a relationship that compares to theirs, we definitely bet you long for one just like theirs when you see their on-screen moments. While this relationship has definitely had its ups and downs, the couple has remained together for the majority of the past ten years. Regardless of their personal problems, they always put their children first. So even when Scott and Kourtney aren't officially together, they're still often pictured side by side with their kids in tow. You model your own relationship off of how perfect you think Kourtney and Scott are for each other. Thankfully, these two are back together for real, and you couldn't be happier.
1 When Kim Just Wanted To Have Fun
If there's anything the Kardashians know a lot about, it's how to have fun. The family is constantly throwing massive soirees and lavish events celebrating almost every milestone in their ever-expanding family. They always have a reason to throw on a glamorous pair of heels and a flashy dress and then hit the town. Though you may not have a red carpet event to go to every night, you totally enjoy living for the thrill and seeking out fun wherever you can find it, just like the Kardashians. You can totally relate to how much they enjoy life because that's what you try to do as well. Kim was right when she said having fun is really what matters, because if you're not enjoying what you're doing, then is it really worth your time? Sure, the Kardashians are still uber-famous and lead a life that you can only imagine in your wildest dreams. While your life will never be totally relatable to that of the Kardashians, it's still cool to know that you relate to them in some small ways. In your mind, you're totally an honorary Kardashian.
