Yeah, I’m not really sure what bug crawled up your @ss since there was no need for the attitude, but I really wasn’t looking for suggestions as to what other plans I could make or how many ways I could inconvenience my loved ones/acquaintances.  Nor was I asking for snark. I politely asked if anyone had this type of work completed while pregnant and if so, if they had any insight on how long I should stay away from the fumes.  Not that it’s any of your business, but since you seem to be stuck in your narcissistic bubble I can only impress on you the following: just because one solution worked for your specific circumstances, doesn't necessarily mean it will work for everyone.  For us, we don’t have any family in the area, we are new to our neighborhood, have already asked friends to take care of our dog (who shouldn’t be sitting around in paint fumes, either), and overall as a philosophy, I’m not one who believes the sun rises and sets on my @ss just b/c I’m pregnant (gasp) and that I should therefore impose on my friends/neighbors to drop everything and schedule MY home maintenance projects when they have their own family/work priorities to juggle.  But that’s just me.

Additionally, I’m not really sure when you last scheduled a painter, but it appears to be a lengthier process than say… scheduling your cleaning crew.  For me, the 3 painters I contacted were scheduling 3 weeks out for the project I have them working on now.  Since we don't know when the baby will arrive, it's not exactly conducive to friends calling on the day of labor to have work completed in the next day or so.

Anyway, thanks again for your nugget of wisdom cloaked in condescension.  It’s people like you that help make DCUM such a supportive environment for expectant parents.

I feel better now!

I wonder what's your excuse for being a jerk when you're not pregnant  :roll: [/quote]
