定语从句中引导词省略的问题

老师您好,谢谢您查看我的问题。这个句子出自一篇英语报道。

原句 "Honestly, I have never intervened in her choices. If she doesn't want to go, that will save me money," Liu says, adding that having a child spend more time with their family is more meaningful than taking extra classes.

我的疑惑是:在这个灰色的分句中,我觉得spend more time with their family是一个定语从句,但该定语从句的主语(关系代词)没有了,这是为什么呢?动词形式也用了原形,为什么不用第三人称单数呢?

如果是我自己写这个句子,我会写成  having a child who spends more time with their family...

你的理解是错误的。这是have sb do sth结构。have为使役动词,spend为不带to的不定式作宾补。
