Kinkly explains Domestic Group

A domestic group usually shares control of their common dwelling and food. For instance, food is shared, but, at the same time, responsibility for acquiring the food is shared between equal partners. The same goes for their common dwelling. Rent, maintenance, and cleanliness are often shared responsibilities between equal partners. Legally, underage members of the domestic group are exempt from these responsibilities.
