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

Girl teenagers are the worst.
Girl teenagers are the worst. So, I've heard from my sister & other BM's/SM's on this board.
EDIT to add: SGD-now-14 ... Bathroom toilet seats smeared with ..., used tampons laid on the floor next to the toilet, makeup/perfume/curling iron instead of bathing, emotional eating, body-shame. Trying to find a bathing suit for a 200lb 9year old girl. Now trying to find a bathing suit for a 250lb 14 year old. Lands End did well.
I secretly reveled in the idea that boy teens were easier than girl teens.
That said, I just kicked out SGS 9 & 11 from Pony Camp today. They are a bit young to qualify as "teenagers," but my zero-tolerance for 'trying to hang your brother from the horse cross-ties' went into effect.
Preteens, young teens, older teens, girl teens, boy teens --- I wonder if they really struggle as much w/in their own skin as we adults struggle with them outwardly.
100% in agreement.....
100% in agreement..... teenagers are the Evilness we got warned about in Sunday school.
Boy teens are a bit better then girl teens..... and it does not matter if they are bio or skid.... teens are simply Evil and you have to deal with it from age 12-25...
I joke with a friend of mine

LMAO! this is perfect! I had three teen boys and one girl in the house. Although boys are easier.... These boys were slobs, my DS included. The mess and stink and ewwww of boys... They were argumentative too oh gods! The girl was a basket case of girl hormones, and yes she is my DD... AHAHAH! I hated the teen years. HATED!
Glad I am not the only one
