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
If you can take a kid to
If you can take a kid to Disneyland as an intact family, why can't you as a divorced family? Hell, some people just want to take their kids to Disneyland.
Not everything is a result of guilty parenting. It's ok to get joy from seeing your kids happy!

Going to
Going to Disneyland/Disneyworld is ok, although I wouldn't recommend it for a child under 7 or over 11. Too young to appreciate it before seven and too old to care over 11 for the most part.
I resemble this remark...lol I am going on 32 and would just LOVE to go to Disneyland/world. Yeah, my body's gotten older, saggier, fatter, etc. but my mind must still be stuck between 7 and 11 (hmm...now I want a slurpee! lol)
Girl you are good. There is
Girl you are good. There is no way on God's green earth that would have went down in my book. You have tons more patience and self restraint than I do.

WOW!! I just thought it
WOW!! I just thought it would be nice to take my stepson back to Disney World because we had fun the first time around. I didn't know that there was a huge discussion post on this subject. My husband and I like to travel (I come from a fairly traveled family) and thought it was a great trait to pass on to my stepson. I think that somepeople just like to go. My parents took me more than 10 times, and they've been married for 40 years.
really? I mean really?
