Almost relax with daughters round about, looking after them? (9)
I believe the answer is:
childcare
'looking after them?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'almost relax with daughters round about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'daughters' could be 'd' (genealogical abbreviation for daughters) and 'd' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 're' ('re' means regarding or about) and 're' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for childcare that I've seen before include "concern for charges" , "Youth work" , "Responsibility for family" , "protection of the young" .)
