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 total insisted that my kids
And grand kids behaved in restaurants. People are spending there hard earn money to go out to eat and should be able to enjoy themselves. On the other hand I payed babysitters to deal with my kids when we went our to eat by ourselves.. I didn't want to deal with other peoples kids. [bad behavior]
worst is when four couples with kids like 8 or 10 put the kids on there own table. With out adult supervision. Last time I want to that restaurant,
Oh I get it.
Oh I get it.
I am that guy who calls for the manager when ill behaved spawn are detracting from a pleasant restaurant experience. I'm also the guy who confronts the rude loud disruptive passenger on an airplane. Much to the mortification of my kid.
My college BFF's kid was one of those kids when she was young. After the second time we all went together and she was runing around the restaurant or threw a fit, he would no longer bring her out with me/us. We never saw her for more than 7yrs. She is now in her mid teens and is perfectly pleasant. Though a bit brooding and rudely non engaging IMHO.
