Bullies

[peachymum29]

See so many threads on here full of bullies? Yet all these bullying Mums share the Bekind crap?? Women supporting Women?? Am I missing something

I think you are missing all of the threads where people are offering tremendous support - breastfeeding, SEN, mental health, bereavement.

There’s Woolly Hugs, which started on here - a charity knitting project that knits and crochets blankets for MNers who lose a child or a spouse, as well as for sick children in hospital, women undergoing cancer, refugees, children with cancer in Africa, and wee blankets to wrap,very premature babies who are stillborn.

You are missing all the threads where MNers generously share their embarrassing slip-ups and funny experiences to entertain us all - go and look at some of the threads in Classics - so many hilarious threads and stories.

There is lots of good advice given here - sometimes it is given bluntly - but I believe most of it is given with the aim of helping people.

I agree.
On my Facebook its full of 'Be Kind' but ironically some of the women who keep spouting this are in fact not very pleasant in real life! One I work with is a bully in the office. She can be quite rude, gossipy and spiteful yet she tries to promote kindness.

Yawn

Sorry just re read your OP and realised that you are referring to mumsnet threads and I jumped straight in talking about FB instead. I'm ready for bed I think!
There are some wonderful and supportive people on here, I've been helped a lot when I've had a query or dilemma.

@Sonichu yeah those like you

Quit whinging.

If you see bullying then report it.

There is a difference between bullying, and robust discussions, sarcasm and jest.

I think we need a separate topic for these threads. @MNHQ can we have a "Mumsnet is full of meanies" topic so I can hide it along with the Coronavirus threads. Thanks everso!

Yip Bully's over and over again! Same thread different B*tches NASTY

Ironic second reply post from an OP complaining about bullying.

Erm. I'm hoping you are trying to be ironic in your replies, OP.

Oh the irony of calling people bitches, whilst complaining about bullies 🤣.

"Bullies, bitches, nasty"...we'll be getting "old" and "hags" next.

Blimey. Someone needs to get an early night and chill a bit.

We had this thread yesterday.

Other sites are available

The good is there if you look for it, as I said, @peachymum29.

I know there are many, many supportive, kind, helpful, wonderful people on here - I have met some of them in real life, and am proud to call them my friend. I have had some amazing support and kindness on here, with my struggles with depression and poor mental health. I hope I have been as supportive and kind to others as they have been to me. Am I perfect? No - but if I upset someone, I apologise if I can.

I am proud to be a part of Woolly Hugs - I knitted for the first ever blanket, and the project has helped and comforted so many people.

MN is not perfect. If you see nastiness/bullying, call it out on the thread or report it. But please try looking for the good too - it is there. If all you look for is nastiness, that’s what you will find - I choose to look for the good.

Yes you are missing something - the weekly or more threads on this already.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius - well said . A thoughtful reply probably wasted on the OP.

Sometimes people are projecting, and see what they look for.

Thank you@ilovesooty.

ilovesooty it isn't wasted on me it was a very thoughtful reply thanks SDTGisAnEvilWolfFGenuis. The last few posts I've read asking for help I've seen people get pulled apart and all sorts it's very hard to read sometimes

I'm guessing maybe this isn't the site for you. there are dozens of other out there, maybe try some of them.

Are some schools closed already?

No need for that.
