family time
Household members gathering
Family time is time spent with family members, especially when treated as a priority or scheduled activity.
The phrase implies intentional togetherness rather than merely being in the same house: We try to protect Sunday evenings for family time.
It often carries a wholesome, slightly earnest quality, sometimes used ironically: Sorry, can't make it—family time.
