Giving choices

Is it bad to give children choices? Say for example my son’s weekend chore is to mow the lawn, so I would ask him if he’s gonna do it Saturday or Sunday. Or say we’re planning on studying, I would ask him if he wants to study before or after chores. Everything still gets done regardless and he gets a consequence if he doesn’t do what he’s supposed to, but my husband says I should just say this is how it is and that’s it and that I empower him too much by giving him choices. What do you think?
