Are We Accidentally Raising Entitled Kids? @Theuncommonspod #podcast

Are we accidentally raising entitled kids? In this episode of The Uncommons, we have an honest conversation about one of the most uncomfortable questions parents face: where is the line between raising children with an abundance mindset and raising children who believe the world owes them everything? We both grew up with scarcity. Parisa navigated financial hardship in Iran after losing her father young. Pej watched his family rebuild from nothing after immigrating to the US. Those childhood experiences shaped how we think about money, what we want for our kids, and where we genuinely disagree as parents. In this episode we talk about: What actually creates entitled kids (it's not what most people think) The difference between raising children with abundance vs raising spoiled children Why child entitlement often starts with parents, not kids The real cost of giving without limits How our scarcity childhoods still show up in our parenting today Where we disagree on whether kids should earn money or simply feel provided for This is not a parenting advice show. We don't have all the answers. We have a real, unfiltered conversation about what it looks like to try to raise grounded, confident children when you're still undoing your own childhood wounds at the same time. If you've ever wondered whether you're doing too much for your kids, or not enough, or both at the same time, this one is for you. The Uncommons is a podcast hosted by Parisa and Pej, exploring the dualities of modern life through honest conversations about marriage, family, parenting, and building a meaningful life.
