My mums 5'8 and my dads 5'10, while I'm 5'2. Probably wont ever overtake them, while my little brother is taller than both :'(

Your dad is 6 foot 10? Or is that a typo?

I'm an 18 year old male, 5'8.5", taller than my mum (5'6") but shorter than my dad (5'11"). I've been my height for about three years now and don't know why I'm not 6' at least: apart from my 90 year old grandpa I'm shorter than every single one of my male relatives over the age of 18. Perhaps I'm still growing, but I don't know.
Not quite sure how tall my dad is... I think he's about 6ft. I'm definitely not taller than him. I used to be shorter than my mum (she's 5 ft 2) about a year or so ago, but I now reign supreme :colonhash:
Taller than my mum by a good 5 inches (she is 5'2 I think)
Smaller than my dad by 9 inches (he is 6'4)

That leads me to be a pretty small 5'7. :frown:
I'm taller than my mother (she's 5'3"), but shorter than my dad (no idea how tall he is but he's taller than me haha. I think he's a bit taller than my husband, who is 5'10").

I'm 5'4".

Smaller than both and will be the smallest member of my family :colonhash:

I have a friend who is 6ft 11. His mum is 5ft 8 and his dad 5ft 11.





Their neighbour's 6ft 10.
Dad : 180cm
Mum : 178cm
Elder brother : 175cm
Younger sister : 162cm
Me : 190cm

Strangely enough when I was 10 I started being taller than the brother.

Yah I always wondered :frown:
