Your should have kept the sentence at: My friend, remember you don't have to do this stuff.

Neither does the child.

Ok fair, but the intent of my comment was as written.

I'm not sure how you meant the comment, but when you say, you get to do it. I would take this as, you are the one who's doing the homework as much as them

I meant you get to share these moments with your child.

Mental framing kind of thing. I don't have to help my 4 year old with a silly daycare assignment. I get to spend some time doing something fun with him.

Here's one of the issues and as you can tell I have a big issue with homework, especially for preschoolers. Your valuable free time with your child is being taken up with doing homework. This isn't a subject that you've chosen but the school, the state, the government. Your free time should be yours and your child's, free to play and have fun. This is social conditioning and control and it starts at such a young age now. Obviously home education (or freedom education, a bit like freedom money) is the answer but not everyone is in a position to home educate.
