Kim Kardashian knows the holiday struggle all too well … trying to corral the kids into a picture-perfect family photo.

KK took to IG Monday to share a series of pics capturing her attempt to get 10-year-old Saint, 7-year-old Chicago, and 6-year-old Psalm to smile and pose alongside her.

Saint was clearly the toughest sell … delivering a stone-cold stare in the first shot before eventually cracking what can only be described as a courtesy half-smile. Don’t worry, Saint … we’ve all been there.

As you know … Kim Kardashian shares four children with her ex-husband, Kanye West, though it’s unclear where he’ll be spending the holidays.

At one point, Kim tries to get all four kids — including North West — to pose in front of the Christmas tree … but North seems to be on the same page as Saint, with the pic showing her walking out of frame.

Not all was lost, though … in the last slide, North shows her mom some love with the two lip-syncing and dancing together to Ken Carson’s “Thx.”
