Kourtney Kardashian’s controversial dining room decision at home with Travis Barker

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are no strangers when it comes to divisive home decor decisions.

Their choice of a install a drum set in their baby Rocky’s bedroom caused concern from Kris Jenner, while their Halloween decorations full of air raised eyebrows on social media — and Kourtney’s latest photo taken in their California home revealed another unusual home decorating decision.

Kourtney posted a photo from their family’s living room, showing her watching Martha Stewart’s new TV show on a giant TV mounted on the wall overlooking the table.

A television in the dining room is certainly an unusual choice, as many families opt for screen-free time during meals. Kourtney even coached her sister Kim Kardashian on how to limit how much their kids use their tablets, so it’s a surprise to see that she opted to sit on the TV in their dining area.

Family meal times

Kourtney and Travis love to host dinners for themselves blended family of seven childrenpublicly sharing how much they enjoy family time and talking about the “highlight” of their day during meals, so we wonder how the TV screen fits into this setup.

Apparently Kourtney relaxed her rules for her kids, because in 2017 she wrote on her now-defunct app: “We want to be able to communicate and have conversations with the kids while we eat together — so we try not to have TV or iPads out for breakfast, lunch or dinner.”

Kourtney’s sister Kim Kardashian recently implemented her own screen time rules after her therapist told her it would help her kids behave better.

Kim told Khloe during an episode of The Kardashians that she now has ‘strict rules about no phone at mealtimes’, with Khloe adding: ‘I live in a militant household’, before saying: ‘I’m really proud that Kimberley has taken a stricter approach with her kids. Strictly just means to implement your. rules.”

While the three eldest Kardashian siblings have rules when it comes to their screen time, their own children are now forging their own paths on social media. Kourtney’s son Mason, 14, now has his own Instagram account, while North West, 11, and Kim share a TikTok, which mainly sees North posting videos of her life .

With the next generation of Kardashians growing fast, we suspect it won’t be long before they have more followers than their famous mothers…
