relatives

Assalamu Alaikum,It is said that the Prophet (pbuh) always reminded people to visit family.  What does a person do when family brings you to hear so much backbiting, and doesn't bring you close to Allah?  There are many older than me in my family which will not tolerate my reminder that their words are haram yet you are forced to see them like when they have a baby, or other occasssions.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I am a convert. I always come across the following questions from the new converts: Is it permissible for us to make du`a’ (supplication) for our parents, family members and relatives who are non-Muslims? What can we pray for them? What can we not? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Is a Muslim allowed to call his in-laws “mom and dad” as they are called by their children? I have read that you cannot call anyone “mom and dad” other than your own parents.
