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

Tell him that...
You are a marriage, and you two need to be on the same page on things... He needs to tell you these things...
DH used to buy random toys for SD5 (and my 1 year old son). One day I told him, that I don't think they should get random toys for no occasions... I actually got overupset, I shouldn't have. He even said he was going to give them back; it was like less than $10.00 between the two toys... from then, if he comes with something for them he shows/asks me first. Even if it is something very cheap and simple.
I don't want SD5 or BS1 to get used of getting presents without a reason. I think they should be very grateful anf look fwd to get things on special occasions. And not make it like "normal" and/or expected.
