Is your MS son taller than you yet?

[Anonymous]

Rising 7th grader. I’m 5’7”, DH is 5’11”. I’d guess DS as not far off from 5’3” right now.

I'm 5'6", DH 5'10". At his 8th grade promotion DS was just a bit above my shoulder. Didn't hit his growth spurt until junior year. Now at 20 he's 6'2". No idea where the height came from. He's taller than every other man in the family.

Taller than me on his 12th birthday. Taller than his dad on his 13th birthday.

PP here again. Just want to add that people expect DS to be mature, like he’s a 16-17yo but maturity-wise he’s very much a 13yo. Sometimes seems it’d be better to be tall later in the teen years (not that we have any control over this)

I’m 5’5 and in the past couple of months my oldest son passed me & is about 5’6. He turns 14 in August.

I’m still much taller than my rising 7th grader. My rising 9th grader passed me just after his 13th birthday and should pass his bad by 14.

I’m 5’9

Passed me in 6th. Passed DH in 9th.

Yes, but I’m short. DS reached full height of 6 feet in 8th grade. DH is also 6’ and the shortest male in his family!

Genes are fascinating! I posted about DH being shortest male at 6 feet. His brother is 6’5 and Dad 6’4.

My own parents were 5’4” mom and 5’9” dad and I have a brother who is 6’2”

My brother has sons who are 6’6” and 6’8”

Yikes, people here tend tall. We are Central American. I am 5'2", DH is 5'7". DS is taller than me but slightly shorter than DH, at age 14.

Taller than me by end of 6th grade (so early 13). Taller than his dad at some point in early 7th. I am a tall woman and DH and I are close in height.

Like me, his feet are huge and they grew first - he's a mens 11/11.5 already). He has a lot of growing to do yet and I know he would be thrilled to surpass me this summer. He hasn't enjoyed being one of the shortest in his class because he hit puberty later.

My sons didn’t grow a lot until start of 10th grade either. Oldest ended up surpassing friends who were much taller than him in middle school. Rising 10th grader isn’t fully through puberty (baby face) and just hit 5’7”

Rising 7th grader is 5'10. So yes, taller than me.

No. Not even close. rising 7th grader - i am only 5'2" and i still have several inches on him. DH and I are both short, and he's always been 10th %ile for height. He'll be a shrimp.
