Your wife sounds like my mom. Obviously she is not being irresponsible on purpose, and is doing what she thinks is best.
However, in my opinion (from personal experience with my brothers), it is much better to set strict boundaries. Firm parenting will churn out a better person in the end. Whereas a lifetime of coddling will leave your son a man-sized child who is unable to have a happy grown-up life.
My wife won't let my discipline my son... IIN?
