Parker's project... or mine?

So...Parker had a geography project due this week that required him to come up with his own country and make a map of it with at least 5 different things on it, such as rivers, train tracks, etc.  that he could put on a legend/key... blah blah blah... all the stuff that a real map would have. So we start working on it, and I find myself completing 90% of the project myself.  Not because he didn't want to do it, but just because I had it all worked out in my head and I didn't think that he could do it the way I wanted it.  Stupid I know! After I had it all written out, I did go back and have him rewrite the town names and stuff so it looked like he did something, but what is wrong with me? It is really funny because I remember my parents doing the same thing with me on my projects growing up.  They always turned out awesome, but I wonder now what my teachers (or in this case, Parker's teacher) thought when they get a project turned it, that was obviously not done by their student.  Please tell me I am not the only one that does this!?  Treven even snickered at me, and was like... "Isn't Parker supposed to be doing it?"  Here is the finished product...
