Estar malacostumbrado

Estar malacostumbrado
 
In English? It's when sb is used to good things, or to eat very late etc....

Rusty October 21, 2010 03:27 PM

to be pampered, spoiled

chileno October 21, 2010 08:27 PM

Be a brat. :)

@ROBINDESBOIS, Rusty, and chileno: In our family we used both words together instead of one or the other. It was always "spoiled brat." Would Estar malacostumbrado suffice in my situation, as well? :thinking: :)

spoiled brats (pejorative, belittling) = mocosos malcriados

Their kids are spoiled brats. = Sus hijos son unos mocosos malcriados.

There are probably other choice words.

niños mimados (not so pejorative)

I'll set an example because I think that 's not the equivalent I was loking for:

Alli tendras que comer a tus horas, aqui comias cuando querias, estas malacostumbrado.
Sorry my computer doesn't get accents, I have to fix it soon.

There you'll eat at a certain time, here you were eating when you wanted to, you're pampered (spoiled).
I think pampered/spoiled works just fine, but spoiled can be use derogatorily in English, as well.

Ok, thanks Rusty
