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

Maybe take her to serve soup
Maybe take her to serve soup to the homeless. Sign her up to do some volunteering with the underprivileged. Maybe seeing how much she really has compared to people who have nothing will be a wake-up call for her.
The best part here, is that it's your OWN kid acting this way, which means that you are in a position of authority to do something about it.
bd17 is the same way. she
bd17 is the same way. she complains about everything i ask her to do, and has no idea how good she has it. she doesn't have enough responsibility, really. i need to lay more down on her. i've learned with her that what works best is to let life teach the lesson. she learns that way. so i just don't give her an allowance or buy her any extras. that's what happens when you piss and moan and half ass help out around here. she needs a job. she needs to learn the value of a dollar and to be held responsible for earning it.
