I usually have a difficult time saying no to my family's requests, my friends' invitations or my boss' instructions specially when they are really hard to do or my schedule cannot accommodate them.
Can you suggest ways on how I can assert myself without hurting their feelings?

I can be really hard to say no to certain people. Since I went through a divorce I have learned a tactic that works well when my ex wife wants something: I play noncommitle. I say I will look into it. We'll see. I'll let you know later when I look at my calendar. This gives me plenty of time to back up and see what is best for me and my children. I think that may help you, you aren't saying yes and your not saying no. If it works out, great. If not, maybe next time.
