The New Yorker is mum to Victoria, 21, Andrew, 17, Adam 15, Mara, 14, Dash 12, Darla 11, Marvelous eight, Martalya six, Amelia, five, Delilah three, and Donovan who is two.
She is pregnant with her 12th child and is expecting the baby in April.
Veronica revealed to The Sun that she homeschools her kids.
The mom said: âItâs usually pretty laid back because we can do a lot of it from YouTube videos.
âWe do math and practice readings, but itâs a little hard with subjects such as history because you never actually know whatâs actually true and whatâs not.â
She joked: âI never know if Iâm lying to the kids.â
Veronica said her eldest daughter Victoria had a âbad experienceâ when in public school.
The 36-year-old said: âShe went to public school for a little while but she had such a horrible time with it.
âSheâs basically the reason why I wouldnât want to send my other kids to public school.â
TikTok users have been left mesmerized by a clip where the supermom explains how she transports her kids.
In the clip, son Dash says: âPlease let there be a normal field tripâ while appearing to pray before his siblings jump on top of him.
One user said: âI need one. I have seven kids and our suburban is too small now.â
Another simply quipped: âLoveâ.
A third TikToker commented: âCool bus. My uncle did a makeover with beds, kitchen, and other things in a school bus, but there were only 5, harder to do a makeover for 12.â
The mom revealed that she color-codes her kids’ clothes and their personal items.
She said: “I’m very specific about their clothes. The clothes match their personalities and they match their colors.”
Veronica also revealed that she was looking forward to Christmas as she enjoys buying for her many kids.
She said: âIâm really looking forward to Christmas. I try to give them everything that they want and more.
âIâm very, very specific. I donât do generic gifts. Even if I didnât wrap presents, everyone would know who it was for as I get them something that matches their personalities. I donât just do nonsense gifts.â
Veronica says that she spends around $700 each on the teenagers, and around a âfew hundredâ on the younger kids, but admitted she used to shop in advance when they were younger.
The supermom previously told The Sun that she always tried to make sure that her kids had a fantastic Christmas.
She said: âI have a tendency to shop years in advance and keep presents in storage, I wouldnât say I am a hoarder so much as I am a saver.
âWhen you find a good deal on something youâll never know when you might see it again and you never know when you might have the money.
âThat is how I have always been able to provide for my kids throughout the holidays.â
Veronica admitted that sheâs not religious but loves the tradition of the holiday season.
The mom-of-11 is expecting a newborn in the spring. She is also due to become a grandmom as her eldest daughter is pregnant as well.
She said: âI didnât plan to have a large family. I said as a joke when I was a teenager that I would have 12 kids. Actually, I didnât think I would.
âI just said it because my aunt â I lived with her- and her boyfriend was being rude to me for being a teen mom.
âI was like whatever: Iâm gonna have 12 kids. How do you like that? I didnât think I would. I was just kidding.â
