'kids' tasks wrecked mower husband ok about that?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'wrecked mower husband ok about that?' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' indicates an anagram.
'husband' becomes 'h' (**).
'about that?' is an insertion indicator.
'h'+'ok'='hok'
'mower' anagrammed gives 'mewor'.
'mewor' inserted within 'hok' is 'HOMEWORK'.
