In an interview on , Victoria spoke about her large brood, saying: "It's a lot of kids. I always say it's less about parenting and more about crowd control when it gets to that many, right?"

She added: "All four kids bring all their friends over to the house, so when we come home at the end of the day there's always lots and lots of children." How does she control them all? "I think the main focus is making sure that they all leave empty-handed and that the art is still on the wall!"
