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 part where he says he
:jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: The part where he says he wants her to feel like she has "won over mummy" makes me want to be sick. I can understand he wanted the little girl not to feel left out but going totally overboard is just creepy. The relationship he has with his wife to be is a totally different type of relationship (one would hope) than the one he has with his future SD. Has the world gone completely mad??

I agree,I mean the basic premise of not leaving her out and wanting to be a family is "so cutesy I could die"- not my thing but I can at least understand the sentiment. But yeah for me that's not the issue- it's the giving her more so she wins/ putting a child on equal footing with adults/ encouraging direct competition for stbSF s love. It just doesn't feel right, it's creepy and it , to me, is yet another example of stupid people not thinking things through and messing up their kids.

Baby D ate her first pork bbq ribs and potato bake with mushrooms, onions, prosciutto, Parmesan and cream! She didn't like the garlic bread but loved the avo , feta and water melon salad.

The article even says the little girl was already excited and happy just knowing that he had proposed to her mother. Kids don't need the "above and beyond" to get excited about things... unless you set the precedent. Which he just did.
At our wedding my stepson
At our wedding my stepson gave me a ring (DH hates one wedding band he likes the look of 2) and I gave him a packet watch. But SS and I are really close and he was pretty young. Also, before the wedding SS gave me earrings and DH gave me a bracelet that all matched the necklace that was my great grandmothers. DH loves buying jewelry for me and so does SS. Honestly, SS has really good taste because DH has taught him well. SS future wife will be very lucky because DH is very open about how much he loves me and little things he does that make me happy.
