Is it normal to feel neglected in a relationship?

My girlfriend and I have been together for six months. She loves her dog and her children. This is understandable but she has to share the kids with their dad. This also makes sense. Here is what doesn't make sense, every time I want to do something with her, we can't because the dog has priority over me. I plan doing things when the children are away which to me minimizes interruptions. I feel she doesn't really care or show affection when she always has to be home or has to take care of the pet. Does this make sense to have a reaction of neglect toward her?

    Please be more specific as to how she neglects you in favor of the dog.

    If you feel neglected then you feel neglected. Just say something.

    If what you want to do with minimized interruptions is sex, and she's somehow using the dog to avoid this, that's a real problem.

    The next time the kids are going to their dad, why not talk to her beforehand and involve her in some plans that don't include the dog? Surely if you suggested a romantic dinner out, she wouldn't refuse because she can't leave the dog????
