Kirsten's Melbourne Trip.

Kirsten went to Melbourne on Monday 14th October. Later
that night her mother received a phone call from one of
the teacher's saying :Kirsten had been 'crying' all day
and wanted to go home so they were bringing her back and
she would be at the Morwell station at about 8:30 p.m.

I rang Kirsten and told her to stop acting like a 2 year
old having temper tantrum, and to stay in Melbourne. I
said if she came home her mother was going to pack her
bags and she would be sent back to live at my house.
She just replied "She didn't care."

Meg spoke to her about lunch time when Kirsten rang her
to say she wanted to come home and could Meg come and
get her. Meg told her "To stop acting like a 2 year
old having a temper tantrum and grow up, and she would
not be coming to get her as she was at a conference in
Melbourne till Wednesday. She was coming back later
that day and then Mick and her were leaving for Sydney
on Thursday morning to see some Car Rally.

Her mother also told her to stay in Melbourne and not
be a 2 year old having a temper tantrum just because
she could not get her own way.

Noting seemed to make a dent. The teacher bought her
back and despite the fact I said no one was coming to
pick her up, Kath relented and did pick her up.

However Kath said it gave her an opportunity to speak
to her on the way home.

What ever Kath said to her must have worked as Kirsten
said she would go back next morning on the 8.30 a.m.
train. She did!!!
