Dinah, I've still got fire-walls up & won't go in & change things as my son set them up himself. I'll get him to do it when he's not busy (if ever).
You won't do that to your son - your resolve won't let you. He's too young to draw into your concern now, but when he grows & you know he can handle it, ask him to let you know if he ever thinks you may be doing this to him.
I didn't want to repeat mistakes my parents (esp my father) had done & asked my sons to let me know - just gentle reminders, nothing that would make them feel overburdened for being responsible for me. It worked well.
