We've heard all the parenting terms...helicopter, hands-off, gentle, authoritative, the list goes on and on. 

But with so many styles of parenting nowadays, how do you choose which one is the right one? 

In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the parenting styles of the past to see which generation nailed it and who's still struggling with the fall out of their own parental guidance.

Boomers, Gen X or Millenials, Which Generation Nailed Parenting?

It is fashion’s biggest night of the year, but the Met Gala is much more than just a parade of celebrities on a red carpet.

As we prepare for the 2026 event, we explore why this exclusive party is actually a vital fundraiser that bankrolls fashion as an art form. We dive into this year’s conceptual theme, and the dress code that's expected to ditch 'pretty dresses' for sculptural, gallery-level installations.

Plus, we look at the power players making headlines this year; with Beyoncé returning to co-chair for the first time in a decade, and Jeff Bezos’ controversial sponsorship causing a stir, the guest list is as much about cultural tension as it is about couture.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Friends urge Harry Styles to get a prenup
Hearings delving into anti-semitism in Australia begin today
Trump says he's unlikely to accept a new Iranian peace deal because "The Iranians had not yet paid a big enough price"
Aussie Sam Kerr is now Chelsea's all time leading goal scorer after slotting her 64th
The Academy has brought in new rules that blocks AI from ever winning an Oscar
