Let’s face it, the “like” button can be a bit of a downer sometimes. When a friend shares something sad on Facebook, it feels odd to “like” a post about a tough situation, like losing a loved one. I once worked for a site dedicated to history, and we often found ourselves in a dilemma over asking users to “like” profiles of notorious figures—awkward, right?
Mark Zuckerberg has been pretty clear about his stance against a “dislike” button for the sake of community vibes, and I get that. But come on, parents need a little more functionality in our digital lives! Here are some buttons I think would be a hit:
- I Can Relate
For when your kids post those daring outfit selfies they had to stealthily sneak out of the house to wear. - Time to Come Home
Perfect for moments when your teen shares a selfie from a less-than-ideal location. - Grammar Check
So we can have a good laugh at our children’s hilarious typos. - Cry Me a River
For when you catch them whining about you on social media. - Wait, I Thought You Disliked Her!
For parents who are just trying to keep tabs on their kids’ friendships (or think they are).
