In our digital world, the “like” button often falls short. When a friend shares something heartbreaking on Facebook, it feels awkward to simply “like” their post about a family tragedy or a difficult situation. I once worked for a company that published articles about historical figures, and we faced the constant dilemma of encouraging our audience to “like” pieces about figures like Joseph Stalin. Mark Zuckerberg has made it clear that he opposes the idea of a “dislike” button, believing it could harm community spirit. While I understand his perspective, there’s a definite need for more nuanced options, especially for parents. Here are five buttons I wish we had:
- I Can Relate – Perfect for those moments when your kids post photos of themselves wearing clothes they had to sneak out of the house to show off.
- Get Home Right Now – A must-have for when your teen shares selfies from a sketchy location. You want to respond but don’t want to seem too controlling.
- Spellcheck Please – So we can lovingly tease our kids about their typos, turning mistakes into family jokes.
- Cry Me a River – Ideal for those times when you catch your kids grumbling about you online. A little parental sarcasm goes a long way!
- I Thought You Didn’t Like Her! – A button for parents who want to monitor their kids’ friendships and the ever-changing dynamics of teenage relationships.
These buttons would certainly add a layer of depth to our interactions. While we navigate the trials and tribulations of parenting, tools like these could help express the complexity of our feelings in a lighthearted way.

In summary, the need for additional Facebook buttons is clear, especially for parents navigating the ups and downs of family life. By introducing more expressive options, we could foster deeper connections and understanding within our online communities.
