Completely agree here. You can be nice for a while but when you're taken advantage of every single time, you have to stop, as it becomes self-inflicted injury when you know very well what will happen. Holding yourself to a higher standard than anyone else involved just makes you an easy target.
From the perspective of some, no longer being nice appears as being nasty, especially when viewed out of context.
I speak from experience. Fortunately not with my children.
I also agree it's a daft system. You should be able to leave your possessions to anyone you choose. You could always go Egyptian style and get them buried with you
