[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the relative do something to the child?[/quote]

OP here. Not to my knowledge. Whenever I confront child, child says their angry that relative watches Fox News loudly every time they come over, opposes relative’s political and religious views, says they find the sound of relative’s voice annoying, that relative meddles way too much/is judgmental, relative leaves multiple doors at unlocked at night every time they come in front door and go outside through other doors, that relative comes over too much and stays too long, relative wears dirty shoes all over the house, that relative is sexist toward DC (relative is same gender and sex as DC) and I could go on. Relative is not a bad person in my eyes. [/quote]

Caretaker for what or who 4 days a week?  Dogwalking so present for 1 hour?  No since doors are left unlocked at night.  Relative meddles, assumes contro; of a TV remote for channel and volume in a common area of the house, likely barks comments on food eaten/appearance/life style.

Is it elder care and diapers?

OP here. There is a toddler that lives in our household. This toddler is not the child of DH, the DC in question or myself. It would be a long story to describe. [/quote]

So the relative is providing free childcare for a toddler.  Toddler happy and well cared for?  The news thing you posted made me remember when my kids were little and 1 babysitter thought the tv would run the food network...toddlers complained.  22 year old helping with toddler while on break would reduce the relatives presence.   But if the relative is the connection to the toddler, perhaps the OP daughter is wondering why the kid doesn't live at the relatives house.  Too many variables here since now we know it isn't OP mom or whatever that needs help toileting. [/quote]
