| He is so nice it's starting to bother me! My hubby is in his senior year of college and he is in a group with 3 other guys doing a design project. My husband is doing his work and the work of the others. At first I think he did it to keep peace but now they are just taking advantage of him. They wait for him after classes, call him on weekends, you name it and they will get him to do their homework. My husband is so go with the flow he won't say anything. I told him he needs to bring it to the professors attention that he is doing the whole project basically on his own. He keeps saying that he needs to and it makes him mad but he keeps on doing their work. I never get to see him it seems. He is gone from 7 AM till sometimes 10 PM. Then he wants to go to bed at midnight. If he wasn't doing their work he would be coming home most everyday at 4:30. This has to stop. I really am starting to feel like a single mom here. I just needed a good vent.

| Tell him to stop!! I hate when people take advantage of others like that. All he has to do is start playing dumb and they'll either believe that or they'll get the hint.

| Yeah another thing is one of guys took over and he likes to play boss so he will tell them for example lets meet at noon and then Joel and another guy will show up and the bossy one wont even show. They will "work" on something for days that takes my husband 2 hours. I guess it's that if I was him I would say something like that's your work do it yourself but he isn't quite that outspoken I guess. Also, if they need help they need to ask the professor, not push it off on my hubby.

| I hate when people take advantage of others! At my school, it seems like some people just don't care, and it sucks when you put in groups with them. I don't see why some people even go to school if they don't wanna do the work..I mean no one WANTS to do the homework and projects, but if your paying tuition you definitly need to learn something!

| He needs to stop! That's not fair, and honestly, it sounds like they're taking advantage of him. Have a chat with him about how you feel about it, without being cranky, and see what he says. Good luck. |

| Yeah, I've told him how I didn't think it was very fair for them to treat him like that. He just said if I don't do the work, who will?

| He should be able to talk to the teacher about it. My school is very small, so the teachers know what each student is all about, and whenever we have group work they always tell us to let us know if anyone didn't participate because it will affect their grade, or they have us do reviews on our groups after the assignment, and sometimes their anonomous (sp?) Hopefully if he talks to his teacher his teacher will be understanding.

| I hate working in groups also, especially when people within the group can't be counted on to do their own part. There have been times where I've done more work than I should have, but I'd rather do more work and get a good grade as opposed to failing something because my group members are irresponsible. That's why, if given the choice, I'd much prefer to work by myself. And, shame on those people who are bothering your husband to do their homework for them! He should tell the professor what's going on in his group. |
