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 am so happy my SS sleeps
I am so happy my SS sleeps like a rock
There is no stopping any of it our house...I guess maybe DH and I still have to much adventure in our lives 
The only time I keep it quiet
The only time I keep it quiet is when our window is open. LOL. Our girls go to bed @8 and by the time we are getting busy, they're sound asleep. Plus, noise doesn't carry in our house. We live in a townhouse with neighbors on both sides and below and we rarely hear anyone else--ever. (Could just be that we are the loudest household in the neighborhood..)
Haha once SS is in bed we
Haha once SS is in bed we have no limits...heck as long as there is a movie on we have no limits on noise of anything.
When we lived with MIL one morning BIL10 said he heard something in the house the night before and was concerned - mind you sound traveled it was a concrete floor and our room was across from his. MIL told him it was probably the wind making noise against the house and then ended up making a comment to me as we are close friends that she couldn't believe that DH and I were the ones who were getting caught up in it because she swore up and down that one night he was going to catch her and her then boyfriend but that next time we needed to just leave the TV on.
I guess as I said in a earlier post I feel so lucky that SS doesn't damper our lives, heck when he's staying up late it almost seems like we are teenagers again sneaking to do stuff rather than having to be hush.
Ugh - that's one of the
Ugh - that's one of the conversations that SD13 had with my dd11 a couple of years ago that I will NEVER tell OH about....
Apparently we have sex EVERY NIGHT and SD has to listen to us, and we are SOOOOO loud, and I sound like a pig...
Actually, it's not every night when THEY are here, and we are pretty damn quiet on THOSE nights....
But if OH ever heard of that we'd never have sex when they're here, and that is NOT happening
Thank you SO much for
Thank you SO much for sharing!! I thought u was the only one going through this frustration!!!! I can't remember the last time we had loud, passionate, bed-rocking sex for fear of waking the damn SKs - who live with us full time so there's never a break for us to really let go!!! Why did we have to fall in love with men who have kids already?!
You get to have quiet sex
You get to have quiet sex when they are there? I'll switch with you!!
SO and I don't even sleep in the same bed when SD13 is at our house!
What? Why??
What? Why??
Because we aren't married
Because we aren't married yet. He's old school and doesn't want to set a bad example for SD. Kinda nice when you think about it I guess....but it pisses me off to no end! She's 13! I think she gets it!! lol
I hope your partner is
I hope your partner is amazing because being a stepmom is one of the hardest things - EVER! If you're not married yet then think twice (and then think again!!) before tying the knot. My perfect boyfriend turned into a controlling, overbearing husband who always put his kids first. You're frustrated now? It gets worse.
We invested in white-noise
We invested in white-noise machines for everyone's bedrooms. I'm not 100% positive it works but at least I tried !
Let er rip tater
Let er rip tater chip!!!!!!
We never let the Skid's presence in our home dampen our ardor, passion, or volume... at least not too much. And he lived with us all but 7wks per year.
I was raised by two very much in love and passionate parents. They always kept things behind closed doors but were not bashful about being very sexually active. Now in their mid 70s they still are very passionate ... at least according to the discussions mom and my bride had on a recent girls weekend spa trip.
My bride and I have raised SS in the same environment.
Next time DH goes for the pillow.... throw it across the room and espress your pleasure. }:)
Once again this is for only
Once again this is for only people with SK full time as nevering go to other parent overnight at all. It's more than sex,, it's like you can't let your hair down. Can't have sex in every room in the house. Just can't have that alone time with the one you love. Can't turn off the phone,
People go on couples resorts for vacation, but you can't have any alone time in your own home.
