domesticities
Affairs of home
Domesticities are the activities, routines, and concerns of home life—cooking, cleaning, managing a household.
The word often carries a slightly literary or ironic tone, suggesting either the comforts or the tedium of domestic existence: She found herself absorbed in the small domesticities of married life.
The singular domesticity emphasizes the quality or state of being domestic rather than specific activities.
