Best Answer

Living together in cramped quarters was not easy for the two families, and was even more stressful because they were in fear for their lives. Mrs. van Pels disliked sharing her sheets and dishes, especially after Anne broke one of her plates. Anne wrote in her diary that Mrs. van Pels was a lax housekeeper, leaving leftover food to spoil instead of storing it properly. Mr. van Pels was a chain smoker, and suffered nicotine withdrawal when no cigarettes could be found. This made him edgy and jittery. Mrs. van Pels' flirtatious manner with Mr. Frank upset Mrs. Frank. The van Pels' quarreled frequently and loudly with each other, sometimes turning on Peter. Eventually, the van Pels' were forced to sell some of their possessions, such as Mrs. van Pels' prized fur coat, on the black market. Anne detailed all this in her diary.

Mr. van Dann was a business associate of Mr. Frank, and the family lived close together in Amsterdam - they visited frequently. They were "friends", simply put.
