AIBU to not want DH to engage with homeless man while baby DC is in his arms

[Fieryflips]

DH always tries to give charity when he can (a trait I have always admired) any time he sees a homeless person he will give if he has some loose change.

Yesterday we were in a London food court in a shopping mall and a homeless man came up to our table for change. Our 3 month old baby was sat on the side of the table the homeless man came to and DH was also on that side. The man was approaching all the tables, I said we didn't have any change. I really didn't have any change but also I was a bit nervous because DC was right there. DH said for the man to wait and gave him change.

I told DH not to engage people like that when DC was about because it makes me nervous and you don't know what could happen but DH thinks I'm being unreasonable. AIBU?

I think YABU, he's a homeless person, not an axe murderer. Your DC is no more at risk from then than any other person walking about.

YABU, to be honest - what the hell is homeless person going to do with a baby?!

Yes, do be careful. Your PFB might catch The Poor.

What do you think is going to happen, though?

Jeez.

Of course you're being unreasonable. Child is not going to catch something and person is not going to steal them

Its ok OP, being homeless isn't contagious.

In the kindest possible way YABU (I was very neurotic when my baby was a newborn btw) I think you are being OTT. You should admire the charitable nature of your DH.

You can't be serious

Being homeless isn't catching.

If you're giving him the very thing he's looking for (ie small change) then why on earth would he harm your baby?

Catch The Poor lololol.

I hope you never have the misfortune to be homeless or down on your luck. Very judgemental.

I've heard that the homeless are actually child catchers in disguise, you are very sensible to be wary

I’m quite embarrassed on your behalf.

🚨 snob 🚨

What is this batshittery?!

Did the Homeless man look like this ?

Sarcasm.

I think YABU. I cannot fathom where you are coming from. what is it exactly that bothers you?

Unless the person was clearly under the influence of substances when he approached the table or appeared psychotic etc then why would they be of any more risk to your child than any other person?

The vast majority of us are 3 paychecks away from being homeless. (Probably less now with the increase in cost of living.) A quarter of homeless people grew up in the care system and had an inadequate transfer to independent living. It sounds like you maybe don't know much about the homeless population.

YABU. He's homeless, not the child snatcher.

You sound awful.
Hopefully your baby will be influenced more by your dh as he grows up!

I really really hope so!!!!!

Your DH should really donate to a homeless charity or offer to buy the person food instead of funding a potential drug habit.

What?
