Be kind...

[Dovesono]

I really wish people would stop bleating this at the end of their OPs. It's so bloody tedious.

I really wish mumsnetters would stop complaining about how horrible it is to be asked to be kind.

Agree.

When did this bollocks start?

I’m with you. It’s what people say when they know they’ve done something wrong and don’t want to hear it!

The Be Kind shit makes my teeth itch

I know! I mean - they could just not tell everybody 🤷🏻‍♀️

The correct answer is 'don't tell me what to do' 😂😂😂😂

Mn would cease to exist if everyone just recognised that the only behaviour they can control is their own.

Be kind 😡hate seeing it too.

Or my personal favourite 'you're not my real mum'.

Yep.

I wish we lived in a world where we didnt need to ask people to be kind.

I get it. Its a bit annoying but the bashing i have seen on threads is absolutely vile.

Sometimes some posts need a straight response. Agree. But sometimes I see people post absolutely horrible often unrelated replies

Is this inspired by the thread where an OP screeched like a banshee at an unsuspecting family on holiday then beseeched everyone on here to be kind about it?

It’s ridiculous to be asked to ‘be kind’ irrespective of what the OP is talking about, either post and expect honest responses or don’t, you can’t control what other people will say.

Be kind 😘

People who use the admonition "Be kind" are almost invariably anything but kind to anyone with the temerity to disagree with their world view.

Ooh how did I miss that!

Edit: found it.

AIBU… to argue with a family…..

Thanks

Be Kind is nonsense and usually said by people being dicks but wanting kindness instead of criticism when acting like a dick.

@CluelessfirstimerOh there are some horrible posters & frankly some deranged posters but what can you do. I think many are bored & pass the time being contrary on MNs, keeps them out of real trouble I guess.

Mumsnetters seem to forget that ‘be kind’ doesn’t mean ‘be kind no matter what’.

I know exactly what thread you're talking about, @Dovesono, and I burst out laughing when I read 'Be kind' at the end of it!

Now I'm off to screech at a family for having the temerity to sit at an empty table... but I'll do it kindly, of course.

It's on par now with "Live,laugh,love". Tacky 🤦‍♂️

Be kind, silencing women since the scold's bridle went out of fashion
Nope, they won't shame me or control me

They don’t mean be kind though, what they mean is be nice to me and tell me what I want to hear.
