This is the first time I've heard a parent refer to their currently-living-at-home child as "self-sustaining".

Usually that means they know how to microwave their own hot pockets and open a can of spaghetti-Os.

Fortunately we live in France so we have less of these monstruorities :)

But then how do you fatten your children to keep them docile and slow? :)

Different parenting styles, I guess.

It depends on the age.

When they were young they were definitely not self sustaining.

As teenagers they now live on food (either provided when it meets their standards, or the one they cook themselves), water and wi-fi.
