Today we’re making what I really hope is our final investment in the world’s most perfect teenager’s schooling.

He graduates high school in June.When I paid the spring 2026 tuition back in early November, I naively thought we were basically done. Sweet summer child.

Graduation cap, champagne breakfast, boat trip, photo shoot, and a bunch of other things I’ve either forgotten or actively chosen to repress.

Now the latest (and hopefully last) item on the list is the graduation costume. We’ve received very specific written instructions, so today we’re heading out to hunt for something that satisfies both the teenager’s taste and the school’s strict demands.

Because nothing says “you’re finally an adult” quite like spending thousands of kronor on an outfit you’ll wear for approximately four hours… just so the photos look good.

Parenting in 2026 is just financial self-harm with extra steps. Send help. Or wine. Preferably both.
