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

So basically you are suspecting that your wife has lied to you. Even if by omission, she still lied to you.

Lied.... pretty hard word, however somebody is not saying something or I'm not the need to know person. No matter what position my new family wants me to play; it still boils down to me being the head. That doesn't mean I'm right.

"No matter what position my new family wants me to play; it still boils down to me being the head."
That's pretty presumptuous New Paw Paw. You're not the head of the household simply by virtue of the fact that you are a man. Could be that your wife is showing you who's boss.
You know.... your right,, I
You know.... your right,, I was just trying to keep my hopes up... LOL.. you just brust my bubble.. :O

Now that you know that your wife doesn't consider it to be up to you to decide when it's okay for the skids or grandskids to visit, let her know that you'd like to spend time with her as a couple, and that you'd like to be consulted just in case you had planned on taking her out to lunch that day. You do have things like that in mind, right? Because if you just want to sit at home while she caters to you, you may be disappointed.
How long did you know Mrs. New Paw Paw before you got married? Weren't you aware of the daily comings and goings of the skids? Why did you think they would stop once you were a member of the household?
You know that you’re
You know that you’re absolutely right. I have been with the Mrs. Paw Paw for three years before marriage and during that time, it was less of the skids. No I really don't want her to cater to my needs. Just want to have a house without all of the yelling and screaming for a couple of days.... hey I'm just venting that’s all...
