I just get tired of always being a taxi, a cook, a maid and so on. I don't know that I even feel like a wife anymore. I am jsut kinda here. My husband has said before that I need some kind of a hobby. Honestly, it would be nice but who has the time. I would love to feel wanted again. I was just wondering I how many of you have felt like this at some point in time.

Michelle, you are not alone on this. Many many woman go thru the same at some point in their marriage/motherhood. Believe me, you are very needed, and loved.
We get caught up in running around for kids, and husband, its good to take some "time out" and do things for yourself, even if it means laying on the sofa or bed with a book, tell them, you do not want to hear or see anyone for a while, tell them your needs.
May i suggest going on a date once a month with your hubby, its very important for the two of you to spend time alone to talk, or do something that you both enjoy, go out and have fun with him.
It brings the two of you closer, and feeds your relationship.
