family meeting
Relatives gather formally
A family meeting is a gathering where household members discuss issues, make decisions, or address concerns together.
The term ranges from mundane scheduling sessions to serious interventions: We need to have a family meeting about the chore chart.
When announced solemnly, it often signals difficult news or confrontation: Dad called a family meeting, which was never good.
