Which they don't because, well, they're they parent! <br />Aside from opening his mouth and sticking your fingers in every day, how would you begin to know there was an issue? Aside from checking his waist band like you do a growing child, how would you know? Aside from grilling him about where he got his glasses, how would you know? You wouldn't, you wouldn't do any of those things either, no one would. So, these are not mistakes. These are things that are now at your attention and that you are now taking care of. Exactly as you should, and when you know about them.

We don't want to take over for them, letting them make some decisions lets them keep a bit of control. They feel better, even if those decisions aren't the best. Things have changed, you need to take more control. <br /><br />Don't over buy on the clothes. Find out how often the ALF will do laundry for him. Decent fitting, average stuff will work.
