Fauxdult

A combination of the words "faux" and "adult." Someone who has reached adulthood in terms of age, but still exhibits traits associated with youth or immaturity.

E.g. A 25 year old who has a job and lives independently, yet brings laundry whenever they visit their parents and doesn't maintain a regular sleep schedule due to late-night video game addiction.
"I realized I was a fauxdult when I had my own apartment, but only drank out of red plastic cups."

fauxdult

Think you’re grown, try to act like you’re grown, but couldn’t rely on just yourself if your life depended on it.
My adult child is a fauxdult because he can’t do anything on his own. He might earn a paycheck but has zero budgeting or bill paying experience, so is broke before the weekend is up (when getting a check every Friday).
