Sorry, i can't provide more context. At first I thought of 'do lar' but that seems to have some kind of 'machismo' when using terms like these.

agree  Mario Freitas: No Brasil é comum "dona de casa". Para homens, o termo fica meio estranho. Talvez "do lar", que é um eufemismo comum.

  -> Obrigada, Mario. Mas quem faz pesquisa como eu sabe que as mulheres odeiam dizer que sao " do lar". É um termo meio antiquado. E dono de casa existe, sinal dos novos tempos em que mulheres trabalham e homens cuidam da casa.
