Hey all! I’m thinking about creating a spf product that is TGA approved with skin enhancing properties (sounds like a $$ journey I know). Would love to know what you desire in sunscreen and what you’re willing to compromise on.
Some suggestions
Form factor
Active ingredients
For context, I’m currently on a career break (I previously worked one of the big tech companies as a technical consultant). My husband also has a senior role in finance and works a lot. We have a 2.5 year old toddler and are expecting a second by end of the year.
Because I’m technically now a stay at home wife, I do more of the parenting (night shift, breakfast etc) because I have the flexibility and our son goes to daycare most days. But I do have an expectation that my husband should not completely slack off and remain active parent.
Recently though, I did have a bad streak of night shifts (I co slept with my son as he’s been sick) then I also got run down myself. But I still did a lot of the parenting related activities. When I asked my husband to help with night time routine, he reluctantly agrees. I also told him that he probably needs to start doing more so that our son can start getting used to his dad doing things with him as I’ll be occupied with the baby in the future.
And my husband sighs this comment ‘I have to do everything’. I asked him to elaborate and also shared what I’ve been doing (which is everything from morning, drop off, cooking , pick up, feeding him, shower time and most bed times WHILE PREGNANT). And he responded that he works a job.
Now that infuriated me. I felt like what I do for our son isn’t appreciated or remains unseen. So I told him to f*** off and that I didn’t need his help anymore. We’re not on talking terms.
Would love to get some opinions from the husbands out there too.
