IOS 8 Photostream and Pages

Question

Ok, ever since upgrading to iOS 8 I've noticed some issues with how Pages and Photostream works with mine and my wife's iPhone. We both have iPhone 5s w/ iOS 8 and now the pictures she takes on her phone do not automatically download into my Photostream. When we had iOS 7 it worked. Same thing with Pages. We use Pages and now on her phone it is showing no documents but there are documents on my phone, they aren't syncing like they used to.
I have it set up where I have an Apple ID on my phone and she has her Apple ID on her phone. In iOS 7 it was set up the same way, but I set up my Apple ID as a sub account so our calendars, notes, photos and Pages would sync. Now with iOS 8 I can add my account to her phone but it won't let me turn on Pages or Photostream and says only the main iCloud account can access those and those are all under my iCloud account she no longer can access Pages or our photos we take don't show up on each others Photostreams.
So does anyone know how to get that back? I've turned on Family Sharing but it doesn't seem to work with Pages or Photostream. This was such a good feature and now I'm ****** they took it away with iOS 8. I know I can turn on a sharing album, but when it worked in Photostream I wouldn't have to add the pictures, they just showed up. I can't stand it when Apple takes features away and touts this new and great software and they cripple.
Thank you

I suspect that something in your setups has changed, not so much iOS.  My wife and I each have separate iCloud accounts, but I set mine up as a secondary iCloud account on her iPhone and iPad so that we can share notes.  This worked just fine in iOS 7 and continues to work fine in iOS 8.  However, with this arrangement there never was the ability for her to see my Photo Stream or iCloud documents -- a secondary iCloud account never had the ability to access Photo Stream nor documents saved in iCloud, I'm quite certain of it.
Instead, to do what you want to do, you need to set your iCloud account up on both iPhones as the primary iCloud account.  On her iPhone only, turn off the Contacts, Mail, etc. that she does not want to use from your iCloud account.  Then, on her iPhone add her iCloud account as a secondary account and she can use that for her Contacts, Mail, etc.  Be sure to change her iMessage and FaceTime settings such that you're not getting each other's communications -- do that by unselecting your iCloud email address on her iPhone as a point of contact, and add her own email (optional, but necessary if she has an iPad or Mac and wants to utilize iOS features like SMS relay).
This will achieve what you want, and may have been how you had it set up in iOS 7, since there is no way it could have worked the way you described.
