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 all about outsourcing. }:)
My bride and I have the same philosophy that you and your DH have. Her check and my check are our checks. Our marriage is our joint priority.
I don't think so. My DH went
I don't think so. My DH went from being a Disney dad to over strict back to Disney dad. Some parents feel rules and consequences are too harsh but all they are doing is not preparing their kids for an adult world. When kids have no boundaries, they will not know how to deal with being told 'no' as an adult.
Unfortunately I think it takes someone very serious for Disney parents to see the error of their ways. And then the kids will only turn and blame them for raising them that way.
Lol!! This had me laughing. I
Lol!! This had me laughing. I had to close my office door.
I am glad DH caught a clue.
Though I did not use the recording method I did struggle a bit with getting my bride to adjust how she spoke of and with SS when he was in the preteen/tween years.
There were times when if I had heard "but he is not XX yet, he is just a kid" one more time I would have pounded my own skull into mush against the nearest brick wall.
Lol. I thought I was the only
Lol. I thought I was the only mad one.
