The other three members cameo in other books often and have solo adventures while Sue does not. So do they not love their family?
I'm not saying that she should dump the FF and join another team, but that she should have bigger presence in the MU. No longer tied at the hip to Reed and the kids.
The excuses that always comes up is that she has to look after the kids or that her job is to be the Mom. Now that the kids are much more independent that excuse no longer works. She can guest appear in anything and have a solo adventure with that issue not coming up. The kids growing up is great for Sue as a character.

I'd prefer to leave details on Sue/Namor in the dark. Stories that were written in the sixites and early seventies had a certain expectation of heroes' morals and what they did or didn't do. As time goes on, we need to assume the FF's adventures have all taken part in the past 15 years or so, and in retrospect, don't need to fit the morality of a Kennedy era book.
Right now, though, we know there was some attraction between Sue and Namor. Trying to place it all as "fanfic" kind of makes the fanfic questionable as which villain would Sue be paired with if she and Namor hadn't had any sort of feelings? There was something; it's over now. I don't think anymore needs to happen regarding it except a few comments from Namor to Sue which Sue's OK with TO A LIMIT.
I just want to thank Dan Slott for nipping that Namor crap in the bud. Really and truly, thank you.

You are conjouring this up and it is not even true. Any of the Marvel characters have been available for any storyline and title at will since the very beginning, and they and Susan Storm do pop up all over the Marvel universe. The only FF member that has been really treated different has been the Thing with Marvel Two and One. Kids love the Thing. And Johny has done some solo work with Spider-man. There has never been any storyline or plot that has restricted the character of Susan Storm because of her children. In fact, she has a great house keeper who watches the kids, who herself became a central character.
It would be great if that was the case, and Susan semi-retired because of her motherhood. It would show that motherhood, and raising a family was as important has running off the Negative Zone and to waste time on a career (or concieving child?), but alas, it is not true. She has always selfishly put her career first since the day she got onto the rocket with Reed and Ben and Johnny. And then she flirts with Namor!
She nearly left Reed somewhere around FF140+ and toyed with Namor, and asked to move to Connecticut and all the other interesting and fascinating things that complex family life does to women and the men that love them, but never ever has it been a crutch for any inactivity, and in fact, she has never been inactive. She has been a linchpin Marvel character from the time of FF#1
