AITA for caling my step mom "obese"?
A little background info: I'm a tall dude. 6'4 to be exact. And on the skinny side of the weight spectrum. Safe to say I'm pretty insecure about my frame. My step mom on the other hand is short and on the overweight side of the spectrum. So apparently she loves calling me out on my frame every time we have a family outing or dinner. I've told my dad that it bothers me and he said to "just play it cool" and that it's "just how she is". I just let it slide.
Recently my dad held a family gathering at the city beach. Everything's going good and I'm rekindling with cousins I haven't seen in months. Here comes Angry Step Mom stomping up to us, grinning ear to ear, and blurting out how "skeletons shouldn't be caught swimming" how it's a "hazard" for "sticks" to swim. My cousins giggle in what I can only assume is nervous laughter. I reply with " as long as we're being safe we should also stop the obese whales from swimming, right?" Her previous smile becomes a frown and she stomps off to who knows where.
My dad overhead the whole thing and scolded me about how I was "out of line" and disrespectful. My cousins also agree with my dad and one even said it was "douchey", yet no one says anything about Angry Step Mom. She has done this countless times and I've always played it cool but this time was the last straw for me... AITA?
Edit: I forgot to mention this but yes, I have confronted her 1 on 1 about this multiple times. She's laughed me off and gaslight me each and every time I've tried having an adult conversation with her..
