Wife on Phone

Advice

We have a 2 and 4 year old, I’m a working professional and my wife is a teacher. Both kids are in daycare full time and we’re very busy, we all have long days. However, I have been getting somewhat frustrated with my wife and her being on Instagram. While we’re home at night with the kids (and sometimes on weekends too). Instagram reels seem to take over on weeknights. To the point where sometimes she’s ignoring the kids because she’s so into whatever she is watching.

Anytime I mention something (and I know I need to work on this, I seem to always pick the worst times to bring it to her attention), she uses the excuse of how drained she is from the day and how it’s her way of decompressing.

She’s a wonderful mother - very loving and caring. But this does seem to happen more often than I feel is right.

Am over exaggerating? If not, what methods can I use to voice my concerns with this in the most effective way possible?

Any help is appreciated. It usually leads do some minir arguments, etc

Thank you
