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

Yes I tried that but it
Yes I tried that but it drives me crazy when I have to look at it . It's getting worse each weekend and dh allows it .
DH and I got into an argument
DH and I got into an argument about it last night actually. It's not only SDs messes in the kitchen but DH's avoidance of cleaning WHILE SD is here. We're to sit down and discuss this later this week - and we will. it's our only thing we ever argue about.
Tell DH to clean on Mondays
Or hire a maid with his money to do it. He won't push his kids to clean up until he's on the hook for it.
If he refuses than claim your own room, like others have said.
I used to spend my entire
I used to spend my entire weekends cleaning up after them but then it would drive me nuts. Now I just wait until they are gone and I spend my whole mondays/tuesdays cleaning.
I have accepted that when they are here my house will simply get destroyed and fked up. Complaining or trying to get them to clean up will only result in violent and stressful arguments.
1st/3rd/5th weekends thank god so they wont show up this upcoming weekend
