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

I'll get breakfast in bed
From all three kids. Then we'll head off to church. When BM has recovered from her hangover enough, we'll take SD (with all her crafts she made for her mom/grandmas) to her house. Then biokids and I will make the rounds delivering the crafts they made to SM, multiple grandmas, step-grandmas, and great-grandmas' houses, stop by the cemetary to pay respects, then head home to plant flowers. Probably a cookout in the evening.
I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Can I join you Anon? Yours sounds much more relaxing!!
Sure!
BTW, I think it's great that you have your kids acknowledge their stepmother, step-grandparents, great-grandparents, and grandparents. I really wish that more people could be like you!
We'll be going to church,
We'll be going to church, then out to lunch, then my DH has to work (he is temporarily working 4:30pm-1:30am) so I'll be hanging out with my kids!

I'm not sure.
Weirdly, we have SD16 this weekend. not BM. Wonder what, if anything, we'll do to celebrate StepMother's Day...

No skids this weekend. I am
No skids this weekend. I am feeling sorry for them thought. Its bad enough that on a normal day they have to clean BM's room and make her bed. I think those poor kids will be slaves for a day (worse than they already are!!)
I will be at work as usual but at least I will have 3 hours of quiet when I get home before I have to be super SM again. I hope you all enjoy it!! Relax if you can.
