Pretendult
An individual with pretensions of adulthood and independence, who in actuality has their bills and lifestyle needs provided for primarily by their parent's resources. A person who cannot support their lifestyle on their own, but actively overlooks or minimizes the fact that their parents are providing for them, often through a long-distance monetary umbilical.

-Any college student or beyond who has their rent paid by their parents, but ostentatiously complains about how 'tough' their situation is, as though they were the ones handling it.
