You are good to talk to him and allow him responsibility.. Your wife just can't help but think back to that little baby in her arms and recoil in horror at the thought that her baby could have a knife. Talk to her about it, let her talk to him about it and make sure she's comfortable with his level of responsibility, but remind her that eventually kids have to grow up and we have to let go. As a mother of three, believe me I can tell you it is heartwrenching to go from having that baby depend on you for every need to not wanting to do anything but find out when you are cooking dinner. Help her realize that her fear is out of love, but it's not reasonable fear if the boy is responsible enough to handle it.
