home life

Life at residence

Home life is one's domestic existence—the routines, relationships, and atmosphere within one's household.

It encompasses family dynamics, daily habits, and the general quality of time spent at home: Her demanding job left little energy for home life.

The phrase often contrasts with work or public life: He kept his home life separate from the office.
