When did your sons get taller than you?

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

Are you on the tall side for your family? Or is your son potentially going to grow more?

Mine is 5’8 but almost 15. I’m close to 6’ (mom)

I also know if you are a shorter woman, this will happen sooner- obviously.

But I can't picture looking at my kids in the eye at my eye level. I'm 5'9", so not super tall but certainly taller than most women.

Just curious what the average has been

I'm 5'8" and my daughter was 5'9" at 12. My son was taller than me at 10. He's 6'2 at 15.
