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
I've not heard anything bad
I've not heard anything bad when both parties use it and pay attention to it.
I would certainly agree to use it.
I find it to be a waste
I find it to be a waste because its only as good as the information that gets entered.
BM is supposed to put in events and appointments as soon as knows about them. however, she never does until a day or two before so often we miss out on stuff because we've already made other plans (im sure that's her exact intent).
she also doesn't know how to enter stuff properly, she's always putting in the wrong times or days, or puts stuff in as an event rather than a request. that's a function of her stupidity, rather than the system itself.
we will nt be wasting the $100 fee again when this years subscription runs out. not worth it, they can email for free and we can remain in the dark for free relative to SD's events. I think if you have two people who commit to using it AND if you have more than one kid who has numerous activities it makes sense. but we just have one kid and she doesn't do much in terms of activities.
