The stay-at-home mom was still work.

Again, it is work to take care of kids.

It is work to take care of the home.

It is work to organize lives and educate children.

These are all things that are work.

They're not compensated work in the same way, but you actually can put an economic value on these things.

Because, for example, if mom is working and dad is working, usually you have to hire a nanny.

Usually you have to hire somebody to clean.

Usually you have to hire somebody to babysit.

Usually you have to hire tutors, right?

All of these things have economic value.

Now, it shouldn't be measured in economic value because the true value of staying at home is non-economic in nature.

Obviously, spending time with your kids, you can put a price on anything, literally anything, but because all prices are a system of evaluating trade-offs in terms of time.

With that said, is it more important that mommy be there for the kids than that mommy work a few more billable hours?

Of course, the answer on a sort of raw moral level is yes.

And so the sort of bizarre notion that a woman is only truly fully herself when she is working a lot outside the home and that LeBron is putting forward here, that is a misnomer.

It is just wrong.

Alrighty, folks, the show is continuing for our members right now.

We'll take your questions.
