I'm 5'8" and my DH is 6'5" and I hope he makes it to high school before he's taller than me!!

He's only 4 now, so time will tell. Tall for his age, but like 80th percentile.

Never. I am 5'9" and DC is college age and an inch or two shorter than me.

I'm 5'7'' and Dad is 5'8''. Son is 1 inch shy of 5' at 11, and I can get into some of his shoes (I have women's size 9 feet). Even though he's thin and not super tall or big at all, I think he'll surpass me by the start of high school.

Son is 14, stands about 5'5. I'm 5'10. I suppose it is possible he won't surpass me, but I feel like its very rare if not impossible to see a boy shorter than his mother.

I'm 5'0. The youngest kid I knew who was taller than me (came from a tall family) was 8.

Definitely not impossible or rare.

16, but I made sure he was still afraid of me to maintain the power.

Really? I've literally never seen a case of a mother being taller than her fully grown son unless the son had a disability (sounds like it happened in the case of the poster who is 5'8, above--she refers to DC though) I think it happens with girls and mothers, but not boys.
