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
.
AMEN to that!

that idea Cruella and you'll be rich!
I agree
My bkids are old enough to take care of themselves and frankly so is SD. I fail to understand why a nearly 13yo kid can't do a damn thing for herself. uggg Damn hormones working on me again.

That would be awesome
I tell my husband that he's just like another kid. Doesn't pick up after himself, expects to be fed regularly, waits for me to tell him where things are, etc.
He doesn't think SD14 should ever have to make her own meal. I was talking to another mom at BD4's dance class and she says all three of her kids (ages 4 to 10 or so) make their own meals if she doesn't feel like cooking.
