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
Wrong on SOOO many levels! I
Wrong on SOOO many levels! I think BM did the diaper thing on purpose knowing it would make SM crazy.
SM needs to simply bring diapers with her and can put it on the kid before starting on their long drive...simple
Right, I think they should of
Right, I think they should of brough diapers and I think she knew beforehand that the SM wasnt going to provide them and just wanted to cause a scene....right in front of the kids. And guess who suffers?? Thats right...the kids! I dont know the law but she cant really use that in court because she didnt get permission from her to video tape it correct? I think its along the lines of...you cant record a phone convo without letting the other person know they are being recorded. Well you can but you cant submit it as evidence or anything right?

It is the grandmother not the step mother...You have to listen to her rantings closely. People like this should not be allowed to procreate...
Thanks jsmom, I didnt even
Thanks jsmom, I didnt even catch that until I watched it again. I also watched her other videos and its SOO sad that the police had to get involved for such petty issues! For those of you who havent see the other ones, the police were called because the BF wouldnt take the childs birthday cake home with them! Thats our tax dollars at work!! Police dealing with a feude over birthday cake!!!

If I understand correctly,
If I understand correctly, that was the grandmother, not the stepmother.
Thats true...I see problems
Thats true...I see problems with both parents. Yes he should of brought diapers knowing full well they would be on the road for that long. And the BM was swearing at them to get off her property and what does she do at the end?...she goes through her gate and goes up to their car as they are trying to leave filming them through the car window. I am sorry, if I was in the car and she did that to me, I would of got out of the car and ripped that camera out of her hands! Instead of dropping it, she provokes it by going up to the car! At least the police werent called. Imagine the 911 call....(operator) can I help you? (BM) yes, my childs father wants a diaper from me for the car ride but I wont give him one! OMG

If I had a camera for all the
If I had a camera for all the times I have seen how parents (Bm's or SM's) treat their kids wow. Also its my pet peeve to see parents let their kids do and act however they want at the store! Running up and down the isles, taking clothes and merchandice off the shelves, screaming and yelling etc. Also, i have to grit my teeth when I see 7 and 8 year olds being pushed in strollers with their feet being dragged on the ground!
That issue on the video was blown WAY out of poportion. There was definately a better way to handle the situation. I think both parties in question could of dealt with it differently.

Yes, it was the grandmother,
Yes, it was the grandmother, not the BM. She did look VERY young to be a grandmother which is why I assumed it was the BM in my original post.
