I'm sure they would, but it's often a little more complicated than that. Who will pay for the wife and kids to move along w/ the office? Will you take the kids out of school for two months? They're not unsolvable problems but as someone with a 10 and 12yo kid it's definitely a legitimate concern. And saying "just say home, it was your choice to have kids" is a valid response, but that means you're forgoing the team building and being a "good fit" with your colleagues, which isn't awesome either. :-/
