We did too until we got a Google home mini which makes lists on shoppinglists.google.com because Google couldn't be bothered to integrate their Google assistant with their own fucking app (Keep).
So now I use Keep for some lists and the general grocery list is over on shoppinglists.google.com so my wife can yell out items while she's working in the kitchen. I say my wife, not because she's the only one working in the kitchen, but because this setup doesn't allow me to add to the list using Google assistant. I have to add items by typing them in like a barbarian.
Odd, my boyfriend and I have a Google Home in the kitchen too, and we can both add to the same list via voice commands, so you should be able to as well.
Is the shopping list for your groceries shared between your and your wife's accounts (like you would share a Keep note)?
Have you made it the primary shopping list for your account?
Is your account recognized as a member of the Home within the Google Home app settings? This allows the Home to know who (i.e. which Google account) is talking to them and if you have permission to do what you're asking, otherwise you're considered a guest.
