I wonder if house and family can replace "household" in the above without making a change in meaning. Thanks.

"Family" is an easy substiute, but not "house." Household chores may include walking the dog or other things not connected to the building/house itself.

Thanks, GG.

To make sure, are "family" and "household" always synonymous to you? Thanks.
