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

Why does it have to be "boy"
Why does it have to be "boy" particular? Just because it CAN be for girls too doesn't mean you HAVE to give one to her too. You said you have plenty for her already. Giving them gum doesn't obligate you to give her gum too. She'll have things they won't.
I realize that, but she said
I realize that, but she said she has lots of other stuff for her daughter's bag. I was wondering why the stuff for the boys had to be boy-specific? She could put gender-neutral stuff in their bags without having to also put it in her daughter's.
I was wanting the boys to
I was wanting the boys to feel like i picked things out just for them and that only they would use. I put lip gloss and hair stuff in dd bag that boys would have nothing to do with. That was where i was going. Hope that clears it up.
