my moms friend was painting my house wall and left the bucket of full water which was used to wash the paint brush roller. Now the bucket is full of dirty paint water with the brush (in my washroom!) and its NEAR my room. Im afriad it might cause health problems so i wanna ask if i should cover it up with a bag or something cause i told my mom to move it out of the washroom but she said her friends going to use it soon so dont touch it....... and got all mad. So yeah my question is should i cover the bucket and the brush loaded with dirty paint water with a bag? thx
Extra details: the probem is my mom is weird and doesnt want me to move the brush with the bucket of water in the garage because she said the brush roller needs to be in water 24/7 and wont let me touch it.

Before you get all excited and cause undue and needless friction between yourself and your mom you might want to find out what kind of paint your mom's friend is using first.
If it's latex paint (and I'm pretty sure it is or he wouldn't have left it in a bucket of water) you have nothing to worry about. Latex paint (acrylic water-based paint) is completely harmless to you, your lungs or the environment.
Even if it's an oil-based paint it's not very likely that it will cause you any harm because it's simply a diluted mixture of harmless residue left over from the paint and the fact that it's emerged in water takes away the possibility of any harmful fumes. There is not enought paint on a diluted, washed-out roller sitting in a bucket of water to cause anyone any harm.

It's obviously waterbased paint. It's not radioactive.
And if you were my kid, the most serious danger to your health would come right after you thought you had the right to TELL me to do anything.
A friend of hers is doing the work? That's a major favor. Are YOU doing your mom any favors, or at least being grateful that the walls are being painted by someone other than you?
Or are you just whining like a baby girl about dirty paint water?

I only see a solution here, not a problem. Cover the bucket as mentioned. Stay away from the fumes. Close the doors leading to the wash room. Do not bother yourself.

No i dont think you need to do anything.
Try to keep the house aired out if nobody wants you to do anything with it.
I dont think it will cause harm, but if you are that worried, maybe you should tell your mum so she knows why..

It's yucky, but it won't hurt you. Just move it into a corner and walk around it.

Hey, this is "painting" in "Arts and humanities"... so far!

Use your mom's washroom.
