Their mother is best known as "Octomom," although she says it's a moniker she'd rather leave behind.

"I never coined the term Octomom," she said, instead saying it was a creation of the media.

But she admits that "out of desperation" to provide for her family, "I shamefully embraced the character."

Four years ago, she left that character behind and instead focused on family. In an interview that will air on Inside Edition Monday afternoon, she reveals how she learned to budget for the octuplets and her six other children.

She also gives an insight into their busy lives at their three-bedroom townhome just outside of Los Angeles.
