I'd really like to stay home with my kids for awhile when they are young - but will it happen? The ideal of a one-parent working family is only realistic for those who can afford it.
In Canada you can take up to two year off when a child is born (split between one or both parents) without your company being technically allowed to replace you - and my signifigant other would love to take a year off to help raise our children (when we have them). But it's totally not acceptable for a man to take a year off yet. Even if he couldn't be fired, I think he's right to assume that such a decision would not be accepted by management.
