In response to Re the new French (Odd Bob Job)

Husbandry = archaic meaning of 'to care for a household'
Househusband = you! (obvious opposite to 'housewife')

Husbandry = modern definition of 'the act of raising plants or animals for food'

Therefore, if you are a 'househusband', you could be described as being engaged in 'house-husbandry' - although the word/phrase itself is not in the dictionary!

Househusbandry (a word?)
