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

WOW I like that idea. But since I can't find them I don;t think I'll do that. however now that they are older they need more grown up ones anyway as these were bought when they were very young like 3 or so. Time for new ones!!!
It is possible that they took
It is possible that they took them to the other house? When I first divorced, my sons would try to take their stockings to their father's house, and I'd catch them and let them move the contents to a grocery sack and tell them they needed to keep the stockings at home.
As they got older, they didn't really eat the candy that was in the stockings, so they'd keep the stockings in their room way past the Christmas season. I'd often find them with candy still inside when it was time to start decorating for Easter :o
No they didn't take them to
No they didn't take them to their moms however it is possible they left them in their rooms. i did look but I didn't find anything. They don't take things back and forth anymore. long story
