The Internet Slams Kim Kardashian For Being A Bad Parent After It’s Revealed That North West Refused To Pose In The Family Card After Finger Piercing Scandal: ‘Where’s Northie?’

Kim Kardashian and North West can’t seem to stay out of headlines these days, with North constantly acting out and Kim receiving backlash for not having more of a handle on her. From dressing far older than a normal 12-year-old does, getting finger piercings, and now refusing to pose in family Christmas photos, North has not made it easy for the single mother-of-four. Keep reading for more information.
As with many families during the Christmas season, the Kardashians love to take photos together, especially in matching outfits. The reality star took to her Instagram page to show off this year’s collection of pics, but one child was noticeably missing. In a Christmas Eve post, Kim posted an adorable cousins photoshoot, with three of her four kids: Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6; both of Khloé Kardashian’s kids: True, 7, and Tatum, 3; plus Rob Kardashian’s child, Dream, 9.
The shots are adorable, but many users couldn’t help but notice that North wasn’t present, leaving comments like, “Where’s Northie?” This isn’t the first instance of North being difficult, either. In a post from a few days earlier, Kim posed with Saint, Chicago, and Psalm again, but clearly struggled to get Saint to smile for the photos. She captioned the post, “I really tried,” perhaps in reference to the third photo, where a streak of North’s blue hair can be seen in the photo as she walks out of the frame. Again, fans had concerns over North’s behavior, leaving comments like, “I wouldn’t allow a 12 year old to dictate what happened.”
