We have made what is becoming a more common decision among our friends to have the OM become the primary caregiver when the time does come for us to reproduce or adopt. That this is becoming a common choice either represents that most of our male friends are slackers married to high acheiving women, that the tech market is still so bad here that their career paths look uncertain at best, or that the societal pressure on men to care for their children is increasing.

Even(for us, all of the above)Odds
What do you call a slacker who keeps getting ahead despite hating what he does and thinks the whole goddamn industry is a fucking joke?
