LOL, welcome to parenthood!
I feel that if you two are looking at a permanent status and therefore basically a family unit, then yes you do and as said before will really need to get on common ground... otherwise kids will eat you for lunch.
Kids are all different. My four year old for example brushes her teeth on her own, helps me make dinner, picks up her room by herself but still insists that I dress her in the morning, even though she will dress herself without my asking on the weekends. From what you've posted my quess is that he is capable but is refusing... once again - gotta have common ground before that issues can effectively be addressed.
