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

He whines A LOT!!! If it's
He whines A LOT!!! If it's not about food he's knit picking with my daughter. I wonder what my kids will be like when they are teens.
Teens are always complaining
Teens are always complaining about everything. I'd pick my battles-- and say, this is the way your Dad likes to keep the temperature in our home.
Lol i wrote about this, teens
Lol i wrote about this, teens suck!
Ss12 this whole summer has complained about his hot stuffy room-while he is wearing thick fleece pj bottoms, and a beanie hat. He lets his airvents get covered with blankets and pillows.
You know what i said- NOTHING.
You know what i did about it-NOTHING.
Winter is coming-and the "im cold" is coming. And i will ignore, and pretend i cant hear him.
Yes, but since school started
Yes, but since school started he has only wore it once this week. Not sure if a kid made fun of him. I mean what do you expect wearing it out when its almost 90 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel hotter? Ah, well.. im sure once it cools down a little he will be wearing one everyday again.
When exH was in the service
When exH was in the service we were stationed in a tropical humid location. My mother and lil brother who was 17 at the time came to visit. Little bro was in the emo goth phase and wore black hoodies, black beanie, black t-shirt w/ white long johns underneath, black jeans, black socks and black skater shoes. Plus he carried around his black back pack that was full of crap w/his skateboard attached. You know what's coming...He whined the whole time, "It's so hot here!"
I told him to dress more appropriate for the climate, but what did I know. I was "old" and totally uncool.
I know. The thermal underwear
U can still represent goth,
U can still represent goth, wearing black board shorts, but its just in one ear out the other.
Its just a rough age of not listening to reason, eye rolling, and some sort of attention seeking, balled all in one, with hormones....
I try to think about how i was as a teen, but i was not really a jerk till about 16-17. I knew better to go to my mom with some dumb hot/cold stuff. I did complain about food though, and i was pretty messy! If i could go back and kick my messy butt, and thank my mom a little more i would!
