Have a conversation with her on what you've just shared here.. 
Let her know you find her constant Insta-gramming a bit excessive.

What is she looking at? Maybe she's keeping up with folks lives she wish she had..

It started as friends and family, but you know how it goes... now she's looking at lifestyle accounts of things that really don't apply to our lives, but are the kind of thing that just make you feel bad about your own life.

But she's an adult, and we've had conversations about the cancerous soul-destroying nature of social media (in the context of exposing our children to it) but she doesn't seem to apply it to herself. And truthfully, I don't think she's seriously suffering from it, but it's a factor. It's just the lack of being present for basically no good reason that's the issue... both of us have had to be on our phones or other devices for work outside of normal work hours for much of our relationship, and it's something I get -- if for you're picking up your phone because you need to do it for your career, or your volunteer work (we both coach) or helping elderly family with something... I get it. But to just idly scroll past staged photos of some woman who took a ski vacation in upstate New York that the algo thought you might be interested in seeing, while our daughter colors by herself... I mean, it's FINE, but not ideal.[/quote]
