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

Ummmm, do you realize how
Ummmm, do you realize how EXHAUSTING it is to try and get back to sleep???? ***please note my sarcasm here***
LOL! That is truly priceless. I know you couldn't do anything but stare at the phone and blink. Just in shock and awe.
That's exactly what I did.
That's exactly what I did. I had no response. Just "WOW".
Oh I know! He's got it soooo
Oh I know! He's got it soooo rough! LOL I am laughing but truly I am FUMING INSIDE !!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrr
Ugh. Sounds like it's time
Ugh. Sounds like it's time to lose the dead weight you've been dragging around. Really tho, don't you think you'd be better off on your own? That would at least force him to grow up, get up and get a job.
This will amuse you! My DH
This will amuse you! My DH was out of work for 18 months, including when I was home with my youngest BD after she was born. I had to go back to work when she was 6 WEEKS old because that's all the maternity leave my company would allow me to have. DH couldn't watch youngest BD, even though he was at home, because that would hinder his ability to "work." Doing what? Plus, while I was home with youngest BD and BD3 and just exhausted from caring for two kids, he was in the basement napping in front of his computer! I told him he failed his audition for being a stay-at-home dad!
i would call every 30 to 40
i would call every 30 to 40 minutes to make sure that there was no nap taking going on! either crank call and hang up (if you dont have call id) or call for some stupid reason....i hate when i am working and dh is at home sleeping on his days off. on my days off im expected to care for his son, do the grocery shopping, clean the house and do the laundry, ummmmmmm if im not taking a nap, neither is he!
I agree with Smnikki on this
I agree with Smnikki on this one. Don't give him the opportunity. Or leave him a 'Hunny Do' list. Or ask how much shopping he plans on doing for the dinner he's going to be making tonight....you deserve a day off!

My DH has never been out of
My DH has never been out of work, but the economy is bad right now! Is he trying to get a job atleast?
When I was out of work for 3 months in a roll I napped all the damn time! It was wonderfulllllllllll.........of course, when Dh got home dinner was done and all the housework.....so he had that!
I don't think it's worth divorcing, but just make sure he finds time after that little nap to look for a job! LOL
I am with smnikki too, ring
I am with smnikki too, ring the phone constantly, ha ha what a shithead!
