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
Ah thank you! But we're fine
Ah thank you! But we're fine its skidly with the sudden ailments. Called his mother and he'll be outa here within the hour. And there was MUCH rejoicing in the land
This was the first weekend
This was the first weekend when my bf actually spent some adult time with me. Skidly hid in his room all night a role I'm all too familiar with. Great. Thanks kiddo. We'll off to be with your mother. Much appreciated
Haha if they only knew they
Haha if they only knew they truly feel (skid and bm alike) that they are punishing us haha. Sd6 likes to say my mom's getting us today what time blah one day she's going to get the "not soon enough" answer that goes through my head.
Tru Dat! this kid is 14.
Oh good lord, what is it with
Oh good lord, what is it with stepkids??? Are they ALL attention whores? My stepdaughter would have us think she is sick every damn day. I told her dad her health is totally in his hands because I'm not going to be responsible for the one time she truly isn't crying wolf.
Yeah well, I'm thankful for
Yeah well, I'm thankful for it... His father came downstairs this morning... "He's sick". ME: "Okay - have him call his mother and take him home this morning". They just left to meet the ex and "Do the Drop". 8 hours early WOOO FREAKIN HOO!
God I'm jealous. We have SD13
God I'm jealous. We have SD13 full time so no sending her back to mom:(.
Idk we send skids home when
Idk we send skids home when they are sick too. Dh doesn't want to deal with it since they just whine for bm no matter what he's done for them. I think bm rewards a come home early day.
Well I m not sure but it
Well I m not sure but it might have been my influence saying "send him home"
we were talking about bringing him back early because they're predicting snow. Then the sudden illness. Seemed to just fall into place. I might buy a lottery ticket on the way to the pedi
It's probably something else.
It's probably something else. Don't even get me started about the BM - I cut that sht off pretty early on... Physcopath. She's blocked on all fronts. No communications with the BM. Period. I highly recommend that approach. Much less drama.
