bratty
Like spoiled kids
Bratty describes behavior typical of a brat—spoiled, demanding, or petulant.
A bratty child whines when denied candy; a bratty adult sulks when they don't get their way.
The word often carries affectionate exasperation rather than genuine condemnation: She's being bratty because she's tired.
In kink contexts, bratty describes a submissive who playfully defies or provokes their dominant.
