Communication is very important to keep the family bond strong. Why don't you arrange a time out with her for dinner and let her know what you feel and think? Maybe from there she'll understand your needs and you'll understands her needs too. You must make a point to have a meal together at least once a week to just open up. Good Luck!

Yes I agree. Even though a mom works a lot and is a very hard worker it's very important to take out some time even if it's not a lot for your children. It's very important to have quality time with parents and once they miss all that time it's really hard to make up for it. I believe family communication is very important to keep a good relationship with parents.
