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

Here are some of the words my BFs 17 daughter uses on Facebook (which I can only see on other people's profiles since she deleted me)
mees=miss

finnna-going
fuckkn-fuc*ing
becuz-because
Leaving the last letter of almost every word i.e. sayin, askin, bein, whatev
Making words too long i.e. pleeeease, ooookay, thankkkksssss, byeeeeeee,
And my all time most annoying phrase I think teenage girls have out done: I KNOW RIGHT! or as they put it IKR!
my dd13 also adds additional
my dd13 also adds additional letters to words-loveee youuuu!!!
Byeee! Sometimes I talk to her like that-I draw out my words really long and then say isn't that how you like to taaalllkkkk?
My phrase I hate the most is WTF? Especialy out of a kids mouth. That and FML. I especially hate FML. I see kids apply it to the stupidest things. Oh, my boyfriend didnt speak to me today. FML. Really? I lecture my kids about this one (not that I've ever seen any of them utilize it)but kids are saying screw their lives over ignorant things when there are kids out there that are disabled, dying, being abused that have far better attitudes than they who would love to have some of these kids lives. No appreciation for what they've got. I realize it is just a phrase and they probably dont put that much thought into it but why cant we have positive phrases. LML! Love my life! Something like that. I remember back in the day of WWJD-I think those days are long gone.
What I don't get is that it
What I don't get is that it takes longer to type that crap the it does to just type the dang word!
My SD13, neices,
My SD13, neices, nephews...they all do this too. SD13 doesnt do the ghetto slang versions but she does some of the other although not nearly as bad as the nieces/nephews. Alot of the time SD13 and I cant even figure out what they are saying. I guess that is the point. They dont want the adults in their lives to be able to understand what CRAP they are spewing.
