Share away and don't worry about whose work it is as long as
the children benefit. But I say, why should I have to do all
the work for 2 classes???? It is kinda like working and
bringing in money and then allowing a freeloader to share the
money you worked for IMHO. I don't like the idea!! I
believe in SHARING! Why not show her a unit and assign her
part of it to research, put together, work on and then you do
the other part? You can say, I will on on thus and so and
you are great at blank so will you do blank and blank? If
she is unwilling to pull her weight, I would not share with
her. You could say, we can do this together but I am all out
of ideas for mothers' day, what can we work on for that? Try
getting her involved and then let her do it. If it is
something as simple as making copies, cutting things out,
etc., hold her accountable
