I have now spoken to son and had another row with him. In his very blaze manner, he advised that if he does indeed get the sack, then why shouldn't I keep him, as I have done it up til now....
I told him that if he does get the sack because he would rather be in town that work, then he can stay in town and his girlfriend and friends can "keep" him and I also told him that if and when he does come home that his attitude can change, drastically!

You pack the cases for him, even if it proves to be symbolic; get your OH to take them around later. You should not be there.
Contact the intermediary you plan to use - and I wouldn't even be there for that - he may well better take the seriousness of the message and a "contract" if not coming from his parents.

Your son is really extracting the michael - I heartily agree with what Bednobs and DT have suggested. Time for some tough love otherwise he will walk all over you! A few nights without all the home comforts can do much to focus the mind. Not saying this will be easy for you but try and be strong and don't give in to him - quite frankly if he were mine I'd administer a sharp kick up the a**e!
kat you have my sympathy but he is doing what lots of 19yr olds do in this day and age, flash the cash, tattoos , impress the girlfriend etc its easy to say but the more he sees he can "rattle your cage" the worse its going to get, try ignoring him ?
My eldest son left home at least three times but always came back when he couldnt manage on his own.I can imagine what you are going through.What sort of background does the girlfriend come from? could this be where the problem lies ?obviously he wants to impress her but is going about it the wrong way. Sit down me'dear try and relax , have a drink and try to stop worrying , its you we are worried for not the lad.
