this navy family and how this woman er the wife is finds it REALLY hard to <{1><[1>adjust to his going away and how naughty their child <{2><[2>is building up to <{3><[3>that you know while the dad is away she just <{4><[4>cries so much and she throws these tantrums in her special she was wondering how could she cope with it <{5><[5>you know she said she tries to um er not you know be too strict on the kid and yet she <.>s finds that you know she <.>s has to smack her and <[1>yeah <[2>yeah mm <[3>clears throat <[4>mm <[5>mm mm oh you know things <{1><[1>like that <{2><[2>to pull her out of that um naughty behaviour <&>7:00 <[1>well <[2>yeah probably <.>the the child can feel her stress too <{><[>and hers i reckon so eh from the mother <,> goes down to the child and and they react in a different way <[>yeah i would say so see this this yeah that's what happens with er lynette and yes mm yeah that's right because she's missing her husband <{><[>yeah i can imagine all that <[>mm the child missing her father <{1><[1>oh it's it's not good <{2><[2>i don't know how we can overcome that <[1>yeah <[2>no no i couldn't live like that <{><[>laughs i just couldn't <[>oh heck i'll say no

home <[1>okay <[2>mm yeah <{><[>ae mm <[>and yeah we'll do that for an hour and then the other part of the meeting is to do with their family land mm you know at one stage there when the maori affairs corporated all the land and called it a block <&>24:00 yes yes well they've their their family've actually got <,> um all their part has been put into this rangitikei block mm and they want to bring it out again and have it just as the whanau and and just worry about their own immediate <{1><[1>voc mm oh <{2><[2>yeah <[1>immediate farm <[2>instead of having <.>t all these other bits hanging on and then <,> i think they may be <.>cl more clear cut because everything really on that on that rangitikei block belongs to the town <{><[>and then they've got the woolshed is on their their property the the er dips the yards <[>mm mm and all the other places haven't got it and they seem to be carrying oh <{><[>yes yes mm <[>all the risks you know and they feel as if now that the family have shown a a a bigger interest in their land mm they want to get it back and then try and have someone from their own whanau as a manager yeah well <{><[>they should do that'd be excellent <[>yeah that sort of thing so this is and of course kathryn's the lawyer mm <{><[>yes wow so she what what's her relationship <[>in the family so um and her her grandfather <&>25:00 mm is wally's father's brother oh yeah
