WTF? That is not communicating with you. She is taking up time that you should be spending with your girls ALONE.

And what do you mean IF it is best? Do you want to talk to them alone or not? Or are you just happy to see your W's face and hear her voice? I think that it's the latter.

Do you care for your kids above your W? If not, then you seriously have your priorities mixed up.
