Wife and I have two children-- 2 yr old and 8 month old, and she's currently pregnant with a third. Now, ever since I could remember she talked about having children and how much she couldn't wait to be a mother. She was one of those people who read a lot of pregnancy and baby books, as well as take multiple classes on child development and parenting. And despite everything, it seems to help, as she's a terrific mom.
The only thing that has been bothering me a little lately is her "mommy group". I never minded, but its something that is almost her whole life. She'll cancel our family plans to go out with her mommy group instead, and will basically just spend the whole day out with the kids doing stuff with the mommy group. When I have days off, I would perfer it if we could spend time together, instead of being home alone at an empty house. Whenever she has a problem or issue she'll go discuss it with her mommy group instead of me, and I feel like I barely know my wife anymore. I feel like I barely know my kids. They are more excited to see other adults. They're always clinging to their mother. Her whole life revolves around them and the group, and I just feel like she should take more small breaks and try to focus on us as a family. Or maybe I'm just being little needy, but I don't know.
Is this something I need to bring up with her? If so, how?
tl;dr: Wife spends most of her life with her mommy group and doesn't seem to want to spend time with me anymore. I feel like I barely know her or my kids. How can I bring this up with her?
