What I'm hearing from LW is not just that she wants to spend more time with her kids.
She wants them to WANT to spend more time with her.
And maybe saying that out loud in so many words to her kids might help. And there are a lot of different ways to say that, and some of them are loaded with heaps of parent-to-child guilt and some of them are genuine requests for how LW can evoke "I want to spend more time with you even if I actually can't do that because Life" in her kids and there are a whole lot of other variations on these themes.
