Answer 2

Mrs. van Daan is the wife of Otto Frank's (Anne's dad) business partner. Mr. and Mrs. van Daan have a son, Peter, who comes to the hiding place as well and is later Anne's love interest. Peter is terribly embarrassed that his parents get into awful fights where they yell at each other.

Mrs. van Daan doesn't only argue with her husband, but is argumentative with Mrs. Frank. Mrs. van Daan does not want to ruin her sheets or dishes by sharing them with the Franks. She is constantly trying to parent Anne and refuses to do her share of the work.

Further, Mrs. van Daan is nosey. She is always trying to get Anne to share what she has written in her diary. Anne tends to snap her book closed whenever Mrs. van Daan is near, because the things written about her are not very nice. Mrs. van Daan begs:

Hey, Anne, can't I even take a peek?...Just the last page…?

Anne refuses and her parents defend her when Mrs. van Daan begins a tirade:

You should have been at our house, where children were brought up the way they should be. I don't call this a proper upbringing. Anne is terribly spoiled. I'd never allow that. If Anne were my daughter. . .

To that, Mr. Frank responds that if Anne were not so well-raised, she would be talking back to Mrs. van Daan after her interminable sermons. When the adults encourage Anne to stand up for herself and be independent, Mrs. van Daan attacks the Franks parenting skills:

You must have a strange outlook on life to be able to say that to Anne. Things were different when I was growing up. Though they probably haven't changed much since then, except in your modern household!

Mrs. van Daan's holier-than-thou attitude toward parenting isn't appreciated by the Franks, but she defends her behavior:

If I didn't look out for myself here, no one else would, and I'd soon starve, but that doesn't mean I'm not as modest and retiring as your husband.

Mrs. van Daan's insistence on one-upping Mr. Frank on this quality is nothing less than comedic.
