TL;DR: The authors proposed a model of household decision-making under asymmetric information and showed that resulting allocations may not be fully cooperative, which is not consistent with standard cooperative models of the household: simply reallocating time to compensate for the father's absence would cause an increase in household labor for both children and mothers.
