If he wants to be treated like an adult, then bring it on. Adulting means earning your own way. He can go rent an apartment and buy himself a car. Does he even have health insurance and PTO in case he gets sick and can't be in the restaurant earning tips?[/quote]

OP, I am in a similar boat like yours but my situation is a bit different.  My DS decided not to come back to Purdue for his second year and instead work for Apple as a software engineer in a full time position.  He is getting paid 200K/yr starting salary.  He is that good with software development.  I want him to go back to Purdue to continue his college education in Computer Engineering but he refuses to do so and DH supports DS with this decision.  I think DS is being shortsighted because he could be making a lot more than 200k/yr after graduation.  DH and I have been fighting everyday over the past month on this and it is causing a rift in our marriage.
