 * Modern society. --Khajidha (talk) 19:32, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Congratulations, Khajidha! That's the Answer of the Day.  2606:A000:1126:28D:2145:DDE9:39C1:3E55 (talk) 20:43, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It is a cute answer but history is littered with examples of the consequences of immature parenting as far back as you care to go. 21:55, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It really was meant as just a cute one-liner, but.... Your objection hinges on what is meant by "modern society", a term that could be interpreted as broadly as "society as developed by anatomically modern Homo sapiens". --Khajidha (talk) 22:20, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Another cute answer and not what you iintended with the first one. It can also go back further than HS. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 01:10, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

What are the consequences, exactly? 86.129.17.35 (talk) 21:08, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There can be no "exact" consequences, because both people as individuals, and the social and cultural circumstances in which they are immersed and which influence their development, differ widely. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.200.132.105 (talk) 08:52, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
