I think my friend’s 10 year old son broke his big toe, read the story for more details and to enter your input

My friend just got her kids back out of foster care in Jan 06, the kids were ages 8 and 10. Well, the kids were taken for “dirty house” issues. My friend has cleaned her house and is doing great! Well, the other day while she was napping, the 10 year old was playing with the 8 year old in the middle of the den. According to the 10 year old, he was gonna karate kick his 8 year old bro, the 8 year old drawed up his knee to his stomach, like a crouching position in self defense, (to block the kick) well the older boys foot hit the knee and they heard a small pop, and the older boy went crying to his mom. she felt it was broke and had her neighbor (a veteran 22 year R.N) to look at it. She thought it was broke too, but said that they don’t usually put cast on, the only thing a doc could do is make a diagnosis and administer pain medicine. My friend is scared to take the boy to the hospital because of past dealings with Child Protective Services, they just left her alone. What can she do?!!
The boy is able to walk on it and isn’t in any big pain as long as he doesn’t put too much pressure on his toe. he has been going to school and is doing good.

Yoga? Pilates?

My New Years Resolution is to take better care of my body, and myself, inside and out. I am trying to workout more to become healthier. I am not in good shape, i am in okay shape. Would it be okay to do a yoga class and a pilates class, or should I just chose one or the other?
Which will burn more calories the fastest?

I just found out I am pregnant?

and I am so happy that I could scream :) . Now getting back to the question, does anyone know of a website that can give me helpful hints about pregnancy and baby care? I already have a million books but you cant have enough info, right? Also, are there any good websites for yoga and pregnancy? Any info will help.

Thanks, Me and the Baby Bean

What are a fathers financial obligations if child support is already paid regularly?

I currently pay my spouse $1500/month for child support, 1/2 of day care, 1/2 his medical and dental, and 1/2 of his extra curricular activities (boy scouts, karate, etc.) recently she has started to “BILL” me (i.e. she says I owe her) for other stuff like 1/2 of a co-pay for a medical visit, 1/2 the dental bill over what my insurance wouldn’t cover. Am I legal responsible to pay for these incidental things also??? I’m not trying to be a dead beat, I just want to make sure she is not trying to take advantage. She works full time and makes a decent wage.

add on about child support?

i asked earlier about oregon laws and child support, its not the dad its the mom, the child is 9, she left when he was 3, me and the dad have been taking care of him since, she works at a job that only pays commision supposedly,her and her hubbie have satellite t.v., cells phones etc, she see the child whenever she wants, she served us papers for visitation which makes no sense, a stipulation is no child support, some lawyer told her if she didnt make any money she would not have to pay child support, i am seeking answers before we have to pay a hugh sum of money for a lawyer (her mom is paying for her lawyer) thanks alot (we only asked her for 75.00 a month to pay for a karate class he is taking) but she said she could not afford it thanks again
