One of the best ways to achieve a flexible work/home-life balance is to run a small business.
Can you imagine what it would mean to a small business with 3 employees if one of those employees goes on a 18-month paid break?
Not every business is a 10,000 employee omnicorp made up of fungible cogs.

You do realize that the paid leave is 1. not 100% of salary and 2. not fully paid by the employer, but funded in no small part by taxes on the general population? Furthermore, if it's a "small business with 3 employees" (or 6, or even a dozen) chances are those people are at least somewhat close and talk to one another. And they know that it's not in their interest to bankrupt the business. There are generally ways to reach an arrangement: try to push the paternity itself further, correctly plan the pat' leave, use part-time instead, etc...
