How do I get my husband’s family to stop talking about how “fat” his sister is?

Before I found it annoying and mentioned it to my husband several times. I left it alone because “cultural differences”, family dynamics, etc. We now have a young daughter and it bothers the shit out of me that literally any conversation about his sister comes back to how she is fat. Like she could literally find the cure for cancer and her family would still be like “pero está goorrrrrda”. She has clearly been affected by it, she also talks about her weight and her new diets all the time. I just really don’t want my daughter growing up thinking that her most important metric is a pant size or number on a scale. I also know that if I say something they will roll their eyes and just think to themselves “crazy gringa”.

(Also, his mom is not evil. She is a very nice person but Jesus Christ she is obsessed.)

My kid is 4 and I’m mostly fluent but whenever I say the word classroom, I always say “jaula” instead of aula. 😭 I don’t know how many times I have said this in front of teachers and administrators that are native speakers. And now it’s like programmed in my brain to say the wrong word. Gaaaaahhhhh 🫠
