The Little People Big World star fired back at the prying fans during an Instagram Q&A on Thursday.
In response to the concerned fan question, "I'm worried about Lilah and her language skills", Tori sarcastically answered, "Don't be".
The 31-year-old also captioned her response: "Got it under control."
Tori goes on to explain that the "one thing that's so frustrating with sharing our lives on social media" is when people discuss or debate her and Zach Roloff's kid's medical history.

She and Zach, 32, share three children, Jackson, five, Lilah, two, and two-month-old Josiah, with all of them being born with a common form of dwarfism.
Tori continues, stating that "people don't think we have doctors or people that we trust in our lives with our kid's health."
The mother of three concludes by confirming, "we've got it under control. Trust me".
SAFETY FIRST
It would seem that some fans disagree as both Tori and Zach faced backlash over what fans called a dangerous parenting move during a car ride with their five-year-old son Jackson.

The parents came under fire for improperly buckling their son Jackson, five, into his car seat.
In a scene from Tuesday's episode, the reality star took his kids to grab some food from Sonic.
But eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot that his oldest child wasn't correctly strapped into his booster chair.
While one strap was looped poorly across the top of the seat and underneath his arms, the other was nowhere to be seen.
FAN REACTION
LPBW followers raced to Reddit to complain about the mishap, slamming the couple for their negligence.
"Yesterday’s episode showed Jackson in a high back booster wearing his seatbelt improperly. Shouldn’t he still be in a 5 point harness? All I kept thinking about was how fast he would fly out in an accident," one wrote, opening up the conversation.
"They let the kids bounce around untethered in that Mule on the farm," a second reminded.
A third remarked: "Blows my mind when people just do not care about their kids' safety. It only takes one, not ever major, wreck to seriously hurt a kid in the wrong seat."
"They're lazy and reckless. I hate when people don't take car seat safety seriously," a fourth scathed.
"Yes and Lilah should still be rear-facing," a fifth claimed, noting Zach's two-year-old daughter's position as well.
LIVING ON THE EDGE
Fans slammed Tori Roloff for letting her 2-year-old daughter out of her sight after putting her in a high-risk situation.
The 31-year-old placed her daughter on the kitchen counter and turned to get something out of the cabinet.
Lilah was sitting on the counter, unattended, with balloons and decorations around her for her birthday.
Tori then had her back turned towards Lilah as she sat down to talk to her husband's dad, Matt.
Lilah's grandfather and dad were in the same room, but they would have been too far to catch her if she fell.
Matt talked to Tori about her morning sickness to try and defuse the tension between them.
She did turn around at one point to hand Lilah food but then turned her back towards her again.
Then, Jackson woke up from his nap and Tori put him on the counter to stand with his bare feet, but took him down very quickly.
Just as Matt was leaving, Tori turned to face her tot and told her to say goodbye to her grandpop and the toddler was not very happy.
LPBW fans on were furious after they saw what happened and took to the platform to comment on it.
One Redditor wrote: "Who the heck leaves a toddler sitting on a counter with their back turned? My heart was in my throat this whole scene. Maybe Lilah just doesn't move around but yikes!"
The original poster also added a screenshot of the scene, in which Tori sat with her arms folded.
Many fans expressed their angry opinions of Tori for leaving her child unattended on the platform.
One fan commented: "My husband walked into the room during this scene and immediately asked why she was on the counter like that."

Another person added: "That scene made me really uncomfortable too...I'm not sure if it was just editing but it also appeared she walked away and left Lilah there for a moment."
A third commenter added, "I felt your anxiety," while another fan was concerned about the repercussions of an accidental fall, writing "she's so tiny! That would be a big fall for any toddler but especially an LP baby."
