When did your sons get taller than you?

5'11" and he passed me around age 12. He's 35 now and 6'3", my daughter is 5'2" and husband is 5'8". We have quite a range in our family.

I am above average but not particularly tall (5'9"). DS is 5'7"-5'8", so is not taller than me.

Similar. My 14 yr old is almost my height. I'm 5' 6.5". Last I checked, he was 5'6".

I was recently in a middle school and was checking kids in for a vaccination clinic. They had to tell me their bdays. Holy cow! Some of these kids are younger than my 14 yr old and they are like a foot taller! At this age there is such a huge variation! My kid is like a shrimp.
