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

The "What's going on" is common around here when SD11 hears DH and I laughing. Or we get the "What?!" When we're laughing..in a tone that screams "DON'T LAUGH AROUND ME/WITH LAMARE/ONLY LAUGH WITH ME" :sick:
"What's THIS for?" Holding up
"What's THIS for?"
Holding up some item from the house that SD had rooted through without asking.
My skids seldom ASKED anything, they just used IMPERATIVE statements and TOLD guilty daddy what to do, how high to jump etc. When they tried that on me, I put them in their place (out of earshot of honey boo boo daddykins of course)
Most of their sentences started with "I'm gonna" or "I wanna"
SD asks "why do I have to
SD asks "why do I have to change my pad before its full?"
I shook my head and said "ask your dad..." :sick:

'My Mommy does it this
'My Mommy does it this way...', 'My Mommy doesn't let us...', 'My Mommy say's...', 'My Mommy has this...'
DH to sd's 'Well this isn't Mommy's house, this is Daddy's house.'
Not much they can say to that
SS14 (when he was 12)- When
SS14 (when he was 12)- When I'm 13, will I be a teenager?
SS14 (a few months ago)- So, when your feet on the ottoman, does that mean they're higher than the floor?
SS14 (about a week ago)- WHy don't you trust me? I haven't lied in two days!
