The son tells the dad that he is the one who has to worry about everything - and we know that he doesn't mean the physical parts of life, like finding food, making shelters. The son is referring to their humanity, their consciences, their moral decisions. The son is the one who wants to always give food, clothing and shelter to everyone they meet who isn't a "bad guy." He displays his unspoken faith in God and a desire to fulfill his small mission on this earth. He also carries a heavy burden of the hope. Even when is father is tired and fearful, his son is hopeful that they will find other good people and there is goodness in the earth still.
I also feel that the son knows that at some point in time the father will leave him and he will be alone to carry on. He does worry about everything because he tries to make their life whole, not just survival.
