Hi
Probably the wrong place to post but never mind. My DS age 23 formerly the nicest teen in the world now the nicest young man is about 6 weeks into his first job, a very good one but I'm not sure exactly his natural home. I work but have had a few gaps so still have a mortgage but I manage ok. So anyway DS just wired £1000 into my bank account and this out of his first proper pay cheque. I know he won't want me to refuse it and always says how much I have done for him etc but this might be a step too far. He is just so so good natured I also don't know how he will get on in this job which seems so cutthroat to me.

How lovely. Not quite in the same league, but my DS insisted on paying for a not inexpensive lunch with his first wage after he graduated and although it felt wrong, we accepted because it was what he really wanted to be able to do.

I agree with the other posters - accept it and put it aside in a savings account for when he needs it. Or for your grandkids:)
