With Facebook’s user reaction graphics options expanding beyond merely being able to ‘like’, is it only a matter of time before they introduce more parent-centric choices?

Here are three perfect for parents reactions Facebook may want to introduce:

 

How better to express uncontrollable laughter?! For pregnant women, moms and anybody with less than perfect bladder control this is the perfect way to let people know you laughed so hard you peed your pants.

 

 

The Pillow. The pillow will be an appreciated response for those who deserve a nap and/or a good night’s sleep. It’s a way of saying, “Hang in there.”

 

 

Whether you are saying I hear ya, I’ve been there or a yaas, the echo signals solidarity and support.

 

When I went to take out the green bin it was clear, that this time the weather forecast was correct – the storm has begun. For those in who are annoyed that tomorrow you will have to get up extra early, to clean the car, and/or be prepared for your extra long commute. I have been there (and will be with you again next year when my mat leave is done). I don’t like cold, I don’t like having to wake up early to clean my car, I don’t like the traffic that always seem twice as bad as usual, I don’t like the drivers fishtailing due perhaps to a disbelief in the value of snow tires. I am not signing up for the I love winter fan club, but I will admit that slowly but surely since having my daughter I’ve been acquiring winter gear. Two years ago it was the good winter jacket, this year it was proper winter boots. And as I type this I am deciding that next year it will be warm gloves. I am not convinced that all this shopping is turning me into a winter lover. But it may be increasing my tolerance.

My daughter on the other hand, went to bed excited. She can’t wait to play in the snow. She will throw snow at me and crack up with a laughter that fills my heart. I will play outside with her and together we will have a great time. She will be the kryptonite to the my heart’s frosty feelings for winter. Please know that while the snow may wreak havoc on your day, it’s bringing an extra bounce to my daughter’s step and she will enjoy making extra deep footprint.
