Kourtney Kardashian’s Family Heartbreak: Son Mason, 14, Refuses Special Trip

Kourtney Kardashian has arrived in Sydney, Australia, accompanied by her children Penelope and Reign, in this week’s penultimate episode of Season 5 of The Kardashians. The family is there to support Travis Barker, who is on tour with Blink-182. However, amidst the excitement, Kourtney feels a touch of sadness.

Reflecting on her experience, Kourtney shares, “I am in Australia, we made it. We’ve been having the best time. Travis is touring to different cities in Australia for about a week, but because I was on bedrest before, and then having a newborn at home, I haven’t really had any outings with my other kids, so really I wanted to stay in Sydney.”

During the episode, viewers see Kourtney and her kids attempting to play tennis. However, Reign is less enthusiastic, screaming every time the ball approaches him. Kourtney’s eldest child, 14-year-old Mason, stayed home with his dad Scott Disick, a decision that makes her sad. “I’m making the most of every second,” she says, following Penelope’s 12th birthday celebration.

Kim tried to convince Mason last week to join the trip by highlighting the attractions of Australia, but he preferred to stay home. Meanwhile, Reign shows more enthusiasm during the trip, such as feeding a horse a carrot. Kourtney asks her children about their “peak and pit” of Australia so far. Reign declares, “My favorite part is the ice cream,” which Kourtney agrees with, adding that the ice cream is delicious. Reign humorously adds that his favorite should have been a roller coaster, but Kourtney reassures him they will visit one soon.

Penelope enjoys the beach but mentions a shark attack that makes her wary of the water. Reign dismisses her concern, saying, “Eh, who cares, one person was gonna get bit, I’ll take the risk.” Their nanny, Allie Garcia, asks Kourtney about her own peak and pit. Kourtney shares, “My peak, probably hanging out at Miranda’s. I felt like I learned so much from her mom on the traditions I want to keep in my house now with the kids, like how the mom is always cooking and taking care of everyone.”

Allie agrees, noting Miranda’s son’s helpfulness, while Kourtney adds, “And they all do the dishes together. My pit was the spider.” Footage shows a large spider crawling across a wall, with Kourtney admitting, “So the only reason I could never move to Australia is for the spiders.” She tells her kids and Allie, “I look for spiders everywhere. It’s just terrifying and it’s just not the way I wanna live my life.”

Despite the spider encounters, Kourtney asks her children, “Do we love Australia?” Penelope nods eagerly, while Reign responds with a cheeky “Sure,” followed by an exaggerated wink. Kourtney laughs, saying, “I don’t know where he gets his sense of humor. He’s like a mini Jim Carrey.”

During a meal, Reign tries to entertain with a short story, only to trail off humorously, leaving Penelope unimpressed. Kourtney observes, “I’m starting to get a lot of vibes like his dad. I think he’s starting to get that sense of humor. I’m like, just what we need.”

Kourtney remains determined to make their time in Australia memorable, despite the constant attention from photographers. “Which is why I’m not taking Rocky out, but as much as I would love to stay home and be in my bubble, it’s not fair to have my kids all the way in Australia and not take them out to do things,” she explains.

The episode concludes with the family heading to a van, Kourtney reassuring them, “We can’t let them ruin our whole time,” as they drive away, ready to continue their Australian adventure.
