Child forms in VB.Net are sharing controls and conflicting

I have a form that can spawn a child form, something like:

Private Sub RunBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
            ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RunBtn.Click
  Dim myChildForm As New form2()
  myChildForm.Show()
End Sub

I want to be able to launch multiple children. Unfortunately, I seem to be getting conflicts within the controls of the children. One button will run the other child's control, etc. They also seem to think that their class-level variables are accessible to each other. Private Shared variables like the following are conflicting (one form thinks it's seeing the other form's "mp3file" variable as their own):

Public Class form2
  Private Shared mp3file As MemoryStream
  ....
End Class

How do I spawn children forms that keep their controls and data separate?

Using Private Shared is shared across all instances of that class

Private Shared mp3file As MemoryStream

Simply remove the Shared attribute
