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

It's very mixed. Lots of comments from disgruntled skids saying no way because a step parent is not a parent. Then others says they can only discipline the kid if the sp has been around since the kid's birth. Some are patents saying no one tells my kid what to do. Then there are a few skids saying they liked the discipline because it made them feel like they were part of the family. Lots of other comments supporting step parent rules and boundaries.

I can totally understand the mixed comments since that TikTok is 30 seconds of no context and all sass. Some SPs shouldn't discipline their SKs. Some can, should, and do. That video was meant to be inflammatory to drive up views, so I'm not surprised that the comments reflect that.
I never thought of it that
I never thought of it that way but I think you are right
