How did Anne Frank's parents react to her and Peters relationship?

Answer 1

Partially, she came to somewhat resent her father, briefly, because he was reluctant to accept her newfound spirit of independence (knowing her maturity had not caught up with her independence yet), and partially because she came - finally - to understand that while her mother truly loved her father, her father, though an excellent husband, had never really been in love with her mother. This softened her view of her mother, which had been very hostile up to that point.

Answer 2

Anne Frank's parents, especially her mother, Edith, were generally supportive of Anne and Peter's relationship. They understood that it brought Anne comfort and solace during a difficult time. However, her father, Otto, was more reserved and cautious, feeling it was important for their focus to remain on survival rather than romantic relationships.

Answer 3

Initially, they were happy that Anne had become close to someone her own age, and the happiness it seemed to bring Anne. As they began spending more and more time together - alone - the Franks became concerned about the possible ramifications. It eventually "burned itself out" (Anne was much more interested in the chase than the capture) and no harm was done.
