housewife's
Stay-at-home spouse's
Housewife's is the possessive form of housewife, indicating something belonging to or associated with a woman who manages a household.
It appears in phrases like housewife's knee, a form of bursitis caused by prolonged kneeling during cleaning or scrubbing, and housewife's brisket, a cut of beef popular in home cooking.
The term carries the same somewhat dated connotations as housewife itself.
