We are in a new relationship, she works alot, and we have kids, and she is trying to have another baby now too! I dont see her at all, I just want to spend time with her! How do you get someone to slow down and enjoy the ride, smell the roses, enjoy family time, etc.? We are both very much in love, but...

Maybe you could give her some help, so she has more free time

Yes, definetly help her around the house. Any busy woman would appreciate that. Communicate with her about your problem. Men just don't talk enough. If you tell her you'd like more time as a family or want her to try and take some time off work, tell her! Also if you want her to smell the roses, does she have any to smell? It might be a figure of speech, but maybe she'd like some flowers or something exciting or new in her life.
Either way, I am happy for you love birds and good luck getting that girl to slow down!

Sounds like she is trying to do it all and have it all at once. The most successful people in life are work-a-holics but they always make time for their families and to take care of themselves. You cannot get ahead in life without a closeknit family and friends.
I suggest you get her the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People on cd. She can listen to these on her way to work and when driving kids around. If she does have time to read then get the book. I am a text-book workaholic but after listening to the common sense of this concept, I am now more successful than ever and my family life and relationships are thriving.
The 7 Habits concept will show her that 1/7 of the time she is awake should be spent taking care of herself and nurturing her relationships. At least one day a week should be devoted to her personal life and relationships. Maybe not an entire day all at once, maybe its 2 hours a day.
If she does this, she will always be refreshed for work and be more productive while she is there because the rest of her life is rewarding and thriving.

Why don't you make a sort of date night one night a week, that you both can agree on. Get a babysitter go out for dinner or movie and enjoy the time you have together.

You can help her out in anything that will save her some time. Or the other thing is to talk to her, and tell her exactly how you feel about it, then see if you can come up with a compromise.

Have you ever talked to her about this? If you have what was her reaction? If she sounds like she doesn't respect your feelings then you need to ask yourself If you're willing to put up with that for the rest of your life. Since your relationship is fairly new, it wouldn't be a bad thing for you to evaulate your relationship.

Make yourself disappear for a couple of days. No phone nothing. Okay, you might have to put up with a lot of gripe when you come back, but that should do the trick!

she could be a lot worse....it could be the other way around. If you can not accept her as she is just let the butterfly go. If that sounds not right take her in vacation and rent a cabin just you and her there.

If she is trying to have another baby and you don't see her shouldn't you be a little worried
