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

Mike's first wife was
Mike's first wife was dead..... That may very well be why it all worked for them, LOL.

"Of course things worked out nicely for Carol Brady...she had a live-in maid and Mike's first wife was DEAD!" I have that as my tag line on FB - I love it
Screw having a house keeper
Screw having a house keeper like Alice. I would want one who looked good in a maid outfit. }:)
But, I agree that blending a family with the first spouse is dead would seem easier at least on the surface than dealing with a PITA XW/XH.
I suppose competing with the fantasy of a deceased parent would make Sparenting potentially more difficult than competing with the tragically flawed surviving parents that many of our Skids idolize.
We are Sparents, we can rarely win. Even when the oppostition is dead.
Best regards,
Remember they were WIDOW /
Remember they were WIDOW / WIDOWER..... they did not have the drama of BM, BF.....AND they had a cook / housekeeper..... and that was back in the day when skids were more respectful!!!!
I do NOT want real life to be
I do NOT want real life to be like the Brady Bunch. In reality Mr. Brady was gay and had AIDS, brothers and sisters were doin' it, and there were rumors the mother and son were doin' it. The oldest daughter was coked up and traded sex for drugs. I'm sure there's more, but this is just what I remember from VH1 this weekend hehe
LOL NOoooooo thank you!
