[quote=Anonymous]I think what would be more messed up for him in the long term - would be your thinking there’s something wrong with being short rather than actually being short.

I have one son who is 30th percentile and you do have to deal with kids saying you’re short or whatever but I say things like - good things come in small packages etc. And even when someone says you’re pretty or whatever to one of the kids - I say the real Forrest Gump says “pretty is as pretty does and the most important thing is how you treat people.”

My (shorter) son is very sweet and smart. He is not the coolest kid but I think moms these days know what’s up. My friend told her daughter not to “sleep on” boys like my son and that you’re going to want the nice, smart ones in the long term LOL.

When I met husband - I was told in advance - he was good looking but a little short. When I opened the door - I was like, I guess this is him, haha. I guess I am assuming it will be like that for this son I’m speaking of most likely.

Oh well - it’s like - this is who you are and you’re great. Everyone’s different. No one is better. [/quote]
