Parenting has changed. The rules many of us grew up with no longer feel clear, and in this episode of the 3L Podcast, Eman and Mimi sit right in the middle of that tension.

They ask a question many parents avoid. Are we raising spoiled kids?

This episode starts light, but quickly turns into a real and honest conversation about upbringing, discipline, and regret. Eman opens up about his relationship with his late father and how those tough years shaped the man he is today. He reflects on a key parenting decision with his own son, Ethan, and admits he got it wrong. Instead of pushing through resistance, he backed down. Now he sees the cost.

This leads to a deeper conversation. When you try so hard not to repeat your parents’ mistakes, do you end up creating new ones?

Mimi brings another layer. She speaks about avoiding comparison, allowing each child to grow into their own strengths, and the challenge of raising confident children without feeding entitlement. Together, they explore how modern parenting often swings too far. From strict to soft. From discipline to overcompensation.

They also tackle real, everyday questions: Should your children know how much money you make? Does giving them more create gratitude or entitlement? Should kids earn rewards or receive them freely? How do you balance privilege with discipline?

The episode also dives into social pressure. Designer clothes, gadgets, and fitting in at school. Eman keeps it honest. He knows what it feels like to be the kid without the right trainers. That pressure is real. But he draws a clear line. Providing is one thing. Raising entitled children is another.

One of the most powerful moments comes from a listener dilemma. A mother questions whether she has made life too easy for her teenage son. He wants everything. She is now unsure if she has raised confidence or entitlement. Eman and Mimi break this down with practical insight. They focus on character, behaviour, and awareness.

This episode is not about perfect parenting. It is about awareness. It is about learning in real time. It is about asking hard questions before life answers them for you.

If you are raising children, planning to, or even reflecting on your own upbringing, this conversation will challenge how you think about parenting, money, and legacy.
