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

I would pick to start your year to get the W/Es to fit your need
My clients fiscal calendar has a few five week months per year (Jan, May, August, October). The rest have four. Their calendar begins on Thur Jan 1.
My own companies fiscal calendar has four five week months (March, June, Sept, Dec). The rest of the months are four week months. My company's calendar starts on Monday Jan 5.
So, I would say you have four months per year that have 5 W/Es. Start your weekend visitation calendar on either Jan 1 or the first Monday that falls after new years. I would pick to start your year in order to have the 5th weekends defined that fit your schedule the best.
Just my thoughts of course and going off of the fiscal calendars on my office wall.
Best regards,

I looked at both Jan and Feb and it makes sense that it is the 5th weekend of the month. If you look at the Feb calendar it still has 4 weekends after the 1st.
Thanks Rags. I think if
Thanks Rags. I think if Saturday is the 5th SAturday of the month, then it is a 5th weekend!

Sparky - good point. I'm going to use all of these
I do EOW but we don't do it
I do EOW but we don't do it like that. If we had SS last weekend, we don't have him this weekend. And so on. Hmmmm are we doing it wrong?
No your not doing it wrong.
That is how we do it, how everybody I know does it. EOW is just that not so many weekends in a month.

And would you consider this weekend a 5th weekend of the month?
