Why she would not agree if I told her that to be a parent, they should give what the child is need and all she would say that it is wrong because that would make the kids become a spoiled brat?
I told her if ever I would have kids, I will work hard and earned lots of money so as I could give the kids the precious moments they would never ever forget, like going to 'enchanted kingdom', treat them in such wonderful place and so on, but she told me that it is wrong because that would make them a spoiled brat? What do you think she said that? I don't understand. By the way, what makes a kid become a spoiled brat? Or maybe we just have different perception about "spoiled brat" that is why she is saying those words to me.

Both of you are right.
When you say give a child what she needs, that is correct. But is everything everything she wants or what you want to give the real deal? You friend is also correct to say that you should not be just giving out everything.
Measure needs versus wants. Granted, a child will tell you he/she wants this and that. Will you just give? Regardless of how much it is or whether it is useful?
A spoiled brat to me is one who does not consider others before themselves. If a child is always getting what he/she wants, sooner or later, he/she will not try to empathize with others.

Oh. I see. Ha ha 
I do not want to argue with her. If ever I would have a kids, I will never teach my kids to become spoiled brat. I just want to make them happy while they're still kids. Of course, every thing has a limit. It is wrong for me if they did not even experience to be kids just for once.

I think when we give in to our children's demands it doesn't mean that it will spoil them. As long as they are doing fine in character then it's not spoiling.
Perhaps it would be better if we take it as a reward to good works those nice things we have for them. It would be a motivation for them to do good in whatever we are asking them to do. That way, they will not be spoiled but just properly rewarded.
I am so proud that my husband and i was able to raise a smart , kind and God fearing girl.
