Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Yes, many of us do have
Yes, many of us do have fairly positive experiences as Sparents.
I have been dad to my SS-19 since he was 1yo. Generally the only drama that his mom and I have had with him is usual kid stuff and teen boy brain fart issues. He has grown to be a self supporting young man of character. His mom and I are very proud of him.
His SpermClan on the otherhand ....... are an entirely different issue. I would not waste the piss it would take to put them out if they were on fire.
The SpermIdiot went on to a steller breeding career of spawning oowl children with multiple mothers following the birth of my SS. He supports none of them. He has 4 oowl spawn by three different womb donors. My SS is his oldest and our only. SpermGrandMa is a hag who relishes in being in control of everyone adn everything. Her issue with us, primarily with my wife is that we refuse to do anythign but beat the snot out of her and her idiot son with the Court Order when they so much as think about deviating from it.
So, the answer to your questions is yes for our situation. At least until you add in the SpermClan. Then the fun starts.
I love my Skids SD10 SD9 and
I love my Skids SD10 SD9 and they pick me flowers and baked me a cake, love my BD's their little sisters, when I ask SD9 to fold and put her clothes away she jumps right up and does it, SD10 suddenly feels dizzy and has to lay down if you ask her to do manuel labor but with lighthearted prodding she generally obeys. I don't like their anomosity towards their dad and have to call them on their disrespect sometimes, but I am super lucky. One has a hygene issue I don't know how to approach though so that frustrates me. BM is nice to me but a fake liar so that sucks.
I do. My SKs and my son are
I do.
My SKs and my son are normal kids\young adults. They normal stuff and at times crazy stuff.
I do as much (or as little) as I want/with my SKs. When I get on my SDs for doing something, DF doesn't say a word about it.
I HATE SDs 4 and7 mom.
my struggle is with the BM
my struggle is with the BM mostly.
the skids can and do say some terrible stuff, mostly sd10 but she's the kind of person who says what's on her mind and bm tried very hard to PAS them toward me so we feel the affects of that sometimes.
but we all care about each other and have a great time together.
we are also fast approaching the teen years and i'm a bit nervous about that...but we will survive!
my personal experience as a step kid is the best experience i have so far. all four of my parents stuck it out and we are a true and happy family to this day. but it does take awhile. my relationship with my own sm started when i was 3 but didn't becomes truly solid until i was in my 30s. it just takes a really long time sometimes.
i know being a sm was hard on my sm not so much because i was a bad kid but because my dad didn't really parent me very well or listen to her much when it came to me.
