Kim Kardashian's kids are old pros at handling mom's travels.

The mom of four, 42, FaceTimes her little ones as she checks in from Milan in the latest episode of  The Kardashians, only to find they're faring fine without her.

As Saint, 7½, answers her call, she says, "Hi, did you have fun with Tristan?"

"Yeah. I love you," he sweetly replies.

"I love you. What'd you guys do?" she asks, to which he replies, "We went to the Nike store and got this," he says, showing Mom his purchase.

"You went to the — he took you to the Nike store?" a surprised Kardashian repeats.

"Okay bye, I love you," Saint says, rushing off the phone as she says, "He didn't tell me he was taking you shopping."

Kardashian then tries calling North, 10, and doesn't get much further.

"Hey, how's the hot chocolate stand?" she asks as North holds burning sage up to the camera.

"Oh, you're burning sage in the house," Kardashian says, as North reports, "We both made like $300."

"Wait, who's with you? You can't have a fire on."

"Get out of my house!" North yells as she waves the sage around in front of the camera, then says, "Okay, bye!"

"Don't make a mess!" Kardashian — who shares Psalm, 4, Chicago, 5, Saint and North with ex Kanye West — reminds her.

"Bye, I love you!" the 10-year-old replies, as Kardashian laments, "All my kids hang up on me."

In a confessional, Kardashian says, "I mean, my kids could care less than I'm gone. They are having the time of their life and have completely taken over my house like they run it."

Appearing in the latest issue of CR Fashion Book, the SKIMS co-founder talked about her life as a mom and learning to appreciate her kids as individuals.

"Motherhood is the most challenging and rewarding experience of life," she said. "The days are so long but the years are so short. I love the night snuggles, I love our morning madness before school — I love it all. Even when it seems overwhelming, I know that my babies will grow up and I will wish for the days of tantrums and the cute little PJs and bath time and book time. So, I cherish it all!"

Discussing her kids, she proudly shared, "Each one of my babies is so different and I love that and try to nurture that."

"Lately, I have been traveling with each of my children separately to take them on some one-on-one time exploring different cultures and worlds. And at the same time, doing things that they are passionate about," she continued.

"For example, Saint loves soccer so I’ve enjoyed traveling the world to see games and really bonding with him through the sport. I want all of my kids to be one hundred percent who they are."
