@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?

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.
