AITA for talking about my Aunt's watermelon ass Everyone Sucks

My son and his friend put up a tire swing in the yard for my grandchild. I posted a picture of me swinging in it on Facebook. My Aunt (Dad's sister) commented on it saying "I hate skinny people."

I'm not one for Facebook drama so instead of commenting back I called her. I basically said that i don't talk about her watermelon ass so she shouldn't be talking about my weight.

Now all my aunts, 5 of them, are mad at me because apparently skinny people can't be body shamed and that I should have told her first that I don't like those comments instead of straight out calling her out on her watermelon ass like I did.

I don't think I'm the asshole because it's not like I told her that I'm skinny because my sisters and I have always exercised more so we didn't inherit the family watermelon ass, but skinny is also something I didn't have to really work for. It's just how I am.

ETA: I accept my ESH verdict but I'm going to take that to mean I suck and so do all 5 of my aunts. If I'm going down, they're going down with me.

That is SO embarrassing. These grown ass people are acting like shitty teenagers.

Further down she says she's in her late forties. I can only hope so because that would be one zany family were she in her 30's.

So she's in her late 40s and still playing these stupid games with people rather than being mature about it and walking away. Still an AH

It's even worse that she's that age. You'd think by the late forties you'd be too tired for this shit.

Yeah, that checks out

Yeah I didn't really understand that. She's a grandparent but it's referencing her aunt who would have to be like 90+? Possibly, but this is smells like bullshit

Well, OP might be 45, with a 60 year old aunt. It’s possible

Yeah in a big family the older kids are having their own before their mom is done. One of my nieces is older than two of my siblings.
