The desperate pressure of both hope and expectation inherent in the well-meaning, but ultimately defeated, coordination of family events, vacations and other group interactions; in the end, destined to be undone by the predictable actions of the family members themselves.
We're going to Disney World again, land of sweet, sweet family bonding and fountain of pleasant memories; this time it's gonna be great! Not forced family fun like last time, when grandpa got arrested for groping Cinderella, brother got busted for getting high with a couple of under-age dwarfs, sister lost her virginity on magic mountain and momma got drunk and puked on Tinkerbell during the live parade...

Spending large amounts of time with family, especially children, due to adverse weather conditions that cause closures of schools, work, etc. Normally, this "quality time" soon turns to anarchy and a need for Wine or other booze for the parental units. Usually abbreviated FFCB.
After the fourth straight day without school, the FFCB (Forced Family Climate Bonding) was too much for her to handle and the children were given up for adoption immediately.

Basically the opposite of found family, forced family is when people are brought together, usually by one or more people, and are forced to act as a family just to make that/those person/people happy. It can turn into found family under specific circumstances but usually everyone is pretty unhappy with being a "family". It's also usually very disfunctional.
Person 1: Have you heard about that family from Resident Evil Village?
Person 2: You mean the forced family that Mother Miranda made to make herself happy?
Person 1: Yep, that's the one.
