Kim Kardashian has been in the headlines a lot lately, not just because of her latest career updates, but for her parenting style as well.

The reality star was recently photographed walking around with most of her children in a chic leather coat as she took them out to dinner at a pizza restaurant. She didn’t look like your conventional mom, wearing a runway-worthy look as she held hands with her youngest children. Her unconventional parenting and lifestyle have had her in the hot seat lately, as some internet users have been calling her an “absentee parent.” Read more about her night out and what the internet is saying below.

Kim Kardashian Steps Out In A Long Leather Coat While Taking Her Kids Out To Dinner

The KKW founder took a break from her jam-packed schedule to enjoy a meal out and about with her children.

Monday night, Kim walked hand in hand with her two youngest kids, Chicago and Psalm, who are seven and six years old. Seen walking beside her was her niece, Dream, her brother Rob's daughter, and her son, Saint, who is now nine years old. The group was photographed walking into a pizza restaurant, BJ's, in Woodland Hills, California. The photos were a special treat for fans of the All's Fair actress, as she seemingly doesn't take her kids out to meals in a large group all that often.

For the night out, Kim wore a black leather coat that was long in length and included a belt that she had tied around her waist. Under her chic jacket, she had on a white button-down shirt and a pair of baggy black trousers. Although it was nighttime, she sported a pair of oversized sunglasses and kept a serious face as she ushered her family into the restaurant. Pictures of her with her children can be seen here!

Kim Kardashian Has Been Called An 'Absentee Parent' On Social Media

Now more than ever, the SKIMS creator has been opening up about her life as a parent, emphasizing her wanting to be with her kids and keep a regular family schedule whenever possible in new episodes of The Kardashians and interviews. Many believe this could be an attempt to reroute the public's opinion on her parenting, as over the last year, she's been criticized for the actions of some of her children, more notably her eldest daughter, 12-year-old North West, who was missing from Monday night's dinner.

After North was photographed with dramatic, bright blue hair and posed for pictures in tight-fitting clothes, she also shared photos of a new finger piercing she received, which led to numerous internet users sounding off, assuming the worst of her mom's parenting choices.

"It just makes me wonder if Kim is even around when these things are being done," wrote a user in a Reddit thread.

"I'm not surprised Kim is clearly an absentee parent," another posted.

The mom-of-four continues to fight the narrative that she is "absent" in her kids' lives, but some pop culture enthusiasts remain skeptical.
