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

If SD over here was pregnant at 17 and b*tching about having to wear "fat" clothes, I would be like... "Uhh hey!! It's not all about YOU anymore!! You need to wear clothes that will accommodate that little baby growing in side of you! Stop being so selfish and vain!!"
Yeah, I'm not a nice person!!

She can't afford to be cute. lol
Why are you and your DH
Why are you and your DH taking such an active role in this whole thing? Let her wear whatever she wants...if she wants to get some clothes, you take her to the store (I don't know if she drives or not) and give her X amount of money and buy whatever is best with that...if she buys one outfit, great, she'll be wearing it everyday...if she is wise with her money, she'll have more clothes...if she buys nothing, oh my, next time you give her money you send her to Goodwill...
I really think you guys are doing way too much for her...yes, she should eat healthy and all that, but as long as you cook healthy, it is her kid, her body...don't treat her like a kid anymore...let her make some decision on this mess and deal with the consequences...
