Please, laundry folding ability is overrated.  DH has never folded laundry in his life - It's all sent out except for stuff like underwear and socks which never has to be folded unless he wants to.

I posted earlier about my 1st grader who has homework now and also had homework in K.  Busywork or not, homework is prioritized over laundry, sports, and playing.  My mother always said a kid's "job" is school and DS will get homework, some important, some not so much, all through school; may as well get used to it now...[/quote]

Nothing "comes first" .. It's about balance. If your homework (or your job for that matters) is making it so you can not have a healthy body and a healthy mind and family time, then homework (or work)needs to be limited.

But our family emphasize picking jobs that don't suck your soul so maybe we are in the minority.

Why is expecting a kid to do their homework "soul sucking"?   It's appropriate homework for DS's age and abilities so I expect him to do his homework.  Nothing more, nothing less.  DS goes to an immersion language school, Mandarin, and the only way he is going to learn to write Mandarin is if he practices writing the characters over and over b/c there is no other way around it.

P.S.  DS has AS so he really likes doing this or Math much more than sports...   :lol: [/quote]
