It is fair to say that the relationship between Anne and her mother is not particularly close. Anne's diary is full of examples of conflict between them. It is not simply that they get on each other's nerves in such a tense, claustrophobic environment, Anne also does not really have any respect for her mother:
I need my mother to set a good example and be a person I can respect, but in most matters she's an example of what not to do.
Part of the problem is that Anne is very much her father's little girl, and she wants to feel the same kind of loving warmth from Edith that she receives from Otto. Yet, Anne sees her mother as cold and unapproachable. There is clearly a clash of personalities here. Anne is vivacious and full of fun, whereas Edith takes life more seriously. However, this is not surprising when one considers the fraught situation in which the Franks find themselves.
Edith never comes across as a bad person; she just has a completely different personality from her daughter. One gets the impression that Anne and Edith could well have worked out their differences had they been given the proper time and space.
