Kids taller than parents

[MotionMan]

Kids: Are you taller than either/both of your parents?

Parents: Are your kids taller than either/both of the parents?

I am taller than everyone in my family (parents and siblings (all older)). I'm 6'3". My dad is ~6'1". Everyone else in the family is under 6'.

My daughter is about to pass my wife (~5'5") in height.
My kids are still much shorter than me and may not ever catch me.

Same height as father, taller than mother. My younger brother is the tallest in our family.

I am much taller than my son. Then again, he is only 10 months old.

I was adopted by two women, so yes, I am significantly taller than my parents. I don't know about my biological parents.

 

[mnewsham]

Mother is 5'5.5" dad is 5'7" I'm around 5'10" only person taller then me in the family that I know of is my grandfather around 1/2" to an inch taller.

 

[jagec]

I'm the tallest and heaviest in my family, and believe me I'm not that heavy.

 

[Platypus]

I'm the tallest in my nuclear family and there's only one person taller than I am in my extended family.

I am much taller than my son. Then again, he is only 10 months old.

My son is almost 8, but tall for his age. I keep trying to explain to my 11-year old daughter (also tall for her age) that she better be nicer to him because he will be taller than her one day.

I'm 6'2" and have about 2 inches on my dad.

 

[vi edit]

I'm almost exactly the same height as my Dad...maybe a whisker taller...right at 6' for both of us. My Mom is 5'7" and my sister is 5' tall on a good day

My wife's side is more interesting...Her Mom is 5'5", my wife is 5'6" and she has two sisters that are both at least 6' tall. Her dad is 6'2".

My kids are too young to tell (4 years for my Daughter and 4 months for my Son). I've got a hunch my son is going to a tall kid though. I'm calling 6'3" for him in his senior year. He was born 6 weeks early and is already in the 85th percentile for height/weight for his birth age not even counting the 6 week makeup he had to account for.

My daughter is a scrawny little shit...but that's more of a function of her picky ass eating than anything else.

Taller than both my folks. Probably one of the tallest in the family.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Dad is 6'3"
Younger (still full grown) brother is 5'11"
I'm 6'0"

Knew a family where the dad was 6'4", the son grew up to be nearly 7 feet, and their daughter was over 6 feet. The son hit 6 feet in 6th grade and passed his dad sometime in Jr. High.

 

[middlehead]

Way taller than mother, around the same height as father.

 

[rudeguy]

Lil rudeguy is only an inch shorter than me and he is 15. He'll be taller soon.

Pics of daughter?
EDIT: and wife?
EDIT 2: Why not the mom too?

 

[highland145]

Bro and I, 6'1", are 3+ inches on everyone else in the immediate fam. Great grand dad was 5'0".

My boy is 5' even at 11 years old. Piss on being nice to him because he'll be taller than me.:biggrin: kidding, I know he'll be picking out my nursing home.

 

[IcePickFreak]

I was taller than both my folks by the time I hit high school. Mom is 5'8" dad is 6'2". I topped out at 6'6".

 

[sixone]

Only my mother is shorter than me. She's 5'11".

[NutBucket]

My dad is about 5'8" and my mom 5'5.5". I'm 6'.

 

[slayer202]

Yes I'm a short son of a bitch, my daddy was a short son of a bitch, my mother was shorter than him, and my brother, my brother was so short we couldn't even see him.

 

[bonheur]

I'm guessing that the kids also have a bigger shoe size than their parents?

 

[BoomerD]

I'm 6'-1", my wife barely makes it to 5'-2". Both my kids are MUCH shorter than me, but taller than my wife.
My mom barely hit 5'-1". Not sure about my biological father. He died before I was born, but was around 6'.

 

[KeithTalent]

I have no idea how tall my Dad was, but I'm pretty sure I'm taller than both of my parents.
