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 don't know, outtahere. I had twin boys, one of whom was a three sport athlete. While he did smell when he got home from practice, his room didn't have the smell of teen spirit like my boy skids rooms do.
Once in a while my boys' rooms would smell like dirty shoe smell or dirty laundry smell, but honestly it was NOTHING like the stench that emanates from ASS and Karate Kid's rooms.
Of course, my boys took (multiple) showers every day and ASS and Karate Kid do not.
Completely know what you mean
Completely know what you mean Walkonby! My Bioson played hockey and after a while the gear stunk, he took a shower and smelled great & his room did not sink. My stepsons room, clothes, and body stink all the time b/c he never showers (unless forced to), never cleans his room (and I use that word clean LOSELY) & doesn't clean his body very well when you can get him to "shower". His room smells like dirty ass, feet, and decaying body! The wall next to his bed is so filthy from his feet or something touching it that when I tried in the past to
Clean it the paint started to come off! :jawdrop: when I have complained about his room and my DH has forced him to clean his room, he just puts away a few things and pushes everything into the dark corners of his closet, behind his bed and behind his drawers and desk, but DH does not go back into his room to check everything. I have explained time and time again to DH that he needs to go in and check skids room completely, make him vacuum every crevice and dust IT WILL LOOK AND SMELL BETTER! A few years ago I cleaned skids room,just a basic clean, and his room smelled so much better! Even his clothes started to smell better! It is so disgusting!!!!
LOL! I love that!!!
LOL! I love that!!!
Go to Walmart and get some of
Go to Walmart and get some of those Main Stay sprays. Those things will gag a dragon. Spray it liberally around the room (wear a bandana or breath mask).
I spray liberally the minute DH backs out of the driveway to take the skids home. The door is closed until the skids return and you can still smell the spray - not as cloying, but the scent is still there. DH is a smoker so this is some potent stuff.
Is the spray like Febreze but
Is the spray like Febreze but a lot stronger?
Its universal. My BS smells
Its universal. My BS smells to high heaven and his room does too. He is always working out, sweating and he is a teen boy.
I must have gotten used to it. At least he hs out of the stage where he put on so much cologne that he smelled like a whore...hahaha
I had a brother and you could
I had a brother and you could smell his room walking by...but it smelled like dirty feet. My SKIDS room makes you gag with the horrible smell!
