Well, he IS an adult and is living his life his way, just as you have to live your life your way.
Not much you can do is there?
Letting others behavior consume us doesn't do any good. At least he knows he has Mom when/if he needs you. I'm not a MIL yet but I've heard you have to keep you thoughts to yourself sometimes.

Hang in there Mom. All you can do is be there when he needs you. ;)

Just don't say anything at all about it, like most men, he'll plant his feet and stubbornly refuse to do anything at all even if he had been thinking of it~~
