Chores/responsibilities

I don’t give my 5 year old daughter a lot of chores. But her main responsibility is doing her laundry. I assist her with all the steps involved in doing laundry. But she absolutely refuses to fold her clothes. Is 5 too young for her to be learning to fold her clothes? I have always thought that kids shouldn’t start laundry until about 8 or so but I was influenced by another to have her start. She always complains about how I’m always folding clothes and I always respond with, “would you like to help? That way it won’t take me as long?”
