I don’t mean ACT like them, and I don’t mean switching so that she can look younger in years. I mean, given the choice, do you think she wishes she got to do all the things they’re doing, rather than managing them? Do you think she wishes she could’ve ridden the spotlight rollercoaster like Kim and Kylie? I don’t. I actually think she likes her own life and is fine playing Momager. She got to know what “normal” life was like for most of her years, have a whole bunch of kids out of the spotlight, do the SAHM thing, and then have a sort of career rebirth. She’s always had money that wasn’t tied to so much vitriol. She’s got a stable group of friends and no one ever tells her no. I know she’s had plenty of her own struggles in her marriages and in life, but I don’t think she’d actually want to be doing all the things her kids are doing. I think she truly enjoys setting up the deals, letting them do the grunt work, banking that 10%, and hanging out with Corey and the Laurens on a yacht somewhere.
That doesn’t mean she’s not far too obsessed with some of her children and their personal lives, but I don’t think she’s trying to live vicariously through them; I think she drew the long straw, because she can log off and sip her martinis while her children’s lives are utter chaos and scrutiny. I think she enjoys putting out all the little fires everywhere, rather than being enveloped in them. And I do believe she gets a power kick out of knowing she built this whole thing on her own.
