> Dumping/delegating mundane tasks onto a high income earner doesn't jive with common sense

From the article: "Caring for your child, therefore, produces not only a strong bond but a neurochemical reward, inducing feelings of happiness, contentment and warmth"

I suspect that some of the "mundane tasks" you have in mind are exactly the ones that produce this bond - like changing a diaper when you hear your baby crying at night. That's probably difficult if you're using earplugs, and I guess such tasks might not make sense for some high income earners, though.
