As a parent with a few kids, I was very fortunate to be able to work with my employer and instead of x number of weeks off, we split the same quantity of hours to part time per day for double the amount of weeks.
This worked out well for both me and the company. The company was able to continue projects with my input, and I did not feel like a stranger on my "return".
Obviously for the first few days I was completely out, but after that I could handle dropping by the office a few hours each day.
