family hardship
Household trials together
Family hardship refers to difficult circumstances affecting a household—financial strain, illness, job loss, or other challenges that burden the family unit.
The phrase often appears in formal contexts like school or workplace policies that make allowances for personal difficulties: She took a leave of absence due to family hardship.
It can sound bureaucratic, a way of acknowledging trouble without probing details.
