Seriously, though, I've no idea what a big cheque would be.
What you can comfortably afford, I suppose.

"But you had yours at 18.
In light of the above, here's a tenner" grin

You might write a carefully worded chatty message in his card on the lines of ..... Such changed times. Here we are, you are 21 already. In my day we had to wait until 21 for the big birthday

I don't think anyone should expect a big cheque or whatever for their 21st if they had a generous present for their 18th.

My only grandson will be 21 and is expecting a big cheque. I have the money as no holiday this year like everyone. How much do you think is a decent amount. He had a big 18th but expects the same for his 21st. Although it's not the moved as such it's the expectation. Thank you.
