Tips

register
The suffix here is the same one in 孩子 (children) and 学生 (students) — it generalizes the noun to a class of people, not a household. Toneless: read as -jia.
usage
Often patronizing in modern usage, especially in 'women shouldn't...' constructions. Common in older novels and dialogue; sounds dated or sexist if used unironically today.
