If you start feeling bad about what you have to do, just remember that it's not just you that's making sacrifices for your success, but your hubby and boys as well....You deserve to be treated fairly by her....but that doesn't always change how someone else is .... tell her she's got a chance to get back on track with the other projects you are doing together and if she doesn't then you won't be able to do anymore projects with her in future either. Sometimes being a truly good friend means letting the person know they have boundaries and if they don't work in them, then there are consequences. If she's willing to learn that lesson, it will be the very best lesson you can give her that should last a lifetime - and that's being a really GREAT friend. (((hugs)))

Thank fzzy! I think I may just take my flogger to school

You've already went farther than you needed to. The others gave you good advice. Not to worry ... I think this could be a good lesson for her and with luck ... falling off the first project will wake her up.

Uhm... Not sure about handling her, but I am willing to be your anal freak.

All that can be said about this has been said Lil. And, I'm sure, thought of first by you! You, my friend, are a people pleaser. No matter what you think you convey here (dom mistress).....your heart is on your sleeve and it seems to me like this girl knows it too and will take advantage of it at every turn. She'll also try and turn it around on you....like her failing is your fault. DON'T FALL FOR IT! Like everyone said above....you've gone above and beyond already! Do what you have to do to make YOURSELF feel comfortable with this situation.....but keep that level head on your shoulders and follow your heart. You know what it's saying!

((((Lilith)))) Best of luck!

There's such a thing as being too helpful and it sounds like she's been taking advantage of your help and others.

Time to tell her to get off her butt as she wont get a free ride anymore from anyone in the class, it's a case of work for it or fail on her own efforts, not others, with noone to blame but herself.

Best of luck on your course!!!

I say you just throw her a beatin and explain you were left no other alternatives.

If she gets upset she only has herself to blame, she had plenty of time to participate and do her bit.

If she gives you grief about it, then tell her to go bungi jump off a tall bridge, and don't bother to tie her bungi cord.

What fzzy said....

The sooner you confront it, the better.

good luck (((hugs)))

Forget the friendship, it won't survive. Negotiating the next two projects ought to be a real doozy, however. Best of luck.

So far so good.... I think maybe me coming down on her ass showed her that although I adore her personally she had best not cross me professionally. We have been able to talk as a group and turned the project in including her assignments. However we will be reviewing each other's contribution to the project and I am sure that will cause her grade to suffer.
