Scenario. Your adult daughter lives next door and has her office setup in your living room. She’s at your house alone everyday with her baby and toddler while she works. Toddler is now partially potty trained and still has accidents. Where the office is you have area rugs, no carpet, and nice couches. Naturally you’re worried about potty accidents.
Do you
A. Ask her to look into the toddler having full time care so he can stay somewhere not in your home until potty training is all done. (Costs money)
B. Ask her to put him in pull ups at your house. (Makes potty training regress)
C. Ask her what her plan is for accidents because you don’t want any messes to get missed or furniture ruined. (Might be hard to multitask)
D. Ask if you can help rearrange furniture, surely the 1-1/2 bedroom house they rent might fit an office if things are out in storage. (Limited space)

With all do respect, it's their house and while I think it's wonderful you have the situation to work from their home during the day... whatever they have asked for this situation is fair. May feel inconvenient, but as an outsider looking in with no emotional connection to any of you-- I think you already are at an advantage and should be flexible and gracious 🙏 best of luck!

A, B and C all seem like potential reasonable options. D in my opinion would be a bit of a wild request as the first response if you have already established an office in their home
