Sorry for the previous "nonsense" message. I somehow hit "send"
accidentally.

I was trying to agree with Teresa's original message that the current
set up of relationship tags is misleading. Would appreciate further
insight from those who posted that they didn't want to see it changed.
If you choose to select an ADO or CAN relationship tag to connect two
individuals that tag shows for the child when you are in the parent
view. So why wouldn't you want it to show that same ado or can tag for
the father/mother when you are in the child view?
I think it is confusing that it does not do this.

It seems to me if you didn't want the relationship between the two
individuals to be clear from both the vantage point of the child and the
parent you would have just stuck with the BIO tags in the first place
and used some other way to comment on the relationship.
