Three years later, when they welcomed a baby boy (who they named Liam), Courtney pushed all household chores onto Edith, claiming she was a new mother and didn't have enough time for housework. She also used Edith as a babysitter when Henry wasn't home and she went out with her friends.

Edith didn't like how Courtney treated her, and she complained to Henry about it one day, but Courtney made everything about herself, and Edith had to apologize to her.

Years later, when Liam grew up, there was no need to babysit him, and therefore there was no need for Courtney to have Edith in the house.

As a result, she began inciting Henry against Edith, often exaggerating how Edith was handicapped and never helped her in household chores or how she smelled bad and couldn't do anything on her own due to being confined in a wheelchair. She hinted that Edith was better off in a nursing home.

At first, Henry was opposed to the idea. He would never leave his mother in a facility such as a nursing home. Quarrels erupted between him and Courtney as a result, and while Edith was disappointed to learn she was the root of their dispute, she was relieved Henry adored her so much to let her go.

But a year later, when Courtney became pregnant for the second time, she finally got her chance to kick Edith out of the house.
