If both of you turn on home sharing with the same Apple ID then yes.

really? but i found this on the support site??

Before you change your Apple ID:

Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.

You're not changing anything. Just turn on home sharing and sign in with the same ID. Trust me, it works.
