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

Good one !!!! I have 2 boi that are in college and still at home. But i have been a singel parent for years b4 him and I have always spoiled my kids in a good way because they are very great kids, never gave me once of trouble, And he was not one to spoil and over do it as he say with his kids, But he wants me to do it .

Not a thing , Don't even text to just say hi,, but hubby said I am the adult so I should do it anyway , ( i say nope they are adults also )
I cooked for a whole year for them to come by and fellowship with us so i could get to know them , they came stayed all but 10 minutes and carried all the food away
Entitled Attitude. His kids
Entitled Attitude. His kids his responsibility. It is that simple.
They are adults and even if they were still children, HELLO it rude that they do not thank you, acknowledge you, and/or your investment in them.
You teach a child to say thank you don't you? So if they are still children why has he stopped teaching them....tell him HIS children need to be taken care of by him and while he is at it, he need to teach them some basic manners.
"And carried all the food
"And carried all the food away" CTBB used to do that to me! That and stand at the breakfast bar and stuff his gob because he didn't "believe" in family dinners. DH got mad at me because I didn't go to CTBB's SECOND wedding (1st wife ran screaming after 4 years, no kids thank God), money was tight w/ 2 in college AND I didn't have any time on the books at work. So I told DH that I would make it up by going to CTBB's 5th wedding anniversary- if he made it. }:) ot-CTBB has a SS with his new wife and he's always calling DH telling him what an ass the kid is! Sweet,sweet karma strikes again!And the kid IS an ass! He called my DD's and thier cousins "lesbos" at the wedding and ruined every picture he was in by scowling! LOL!
