[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are both above average — 6’ and 5’8”. My sister is 6’1” and DH’s brother is 6’4”. But not a single woman on DH’s side is taller than 5’2”.   We are on track to have three girls shorter than me.  Oldest is done growing and she’s 5’71/2”

That 1/2 is relevant to this thread. At 12.5, all   doctors told us she was done growing. She had a wrist x-Ray for a sports injury. Totally fused. She started her period at 10.5.

When she was 13 she had a hip x-ray. Ortho says she might have some additional growth left. Sure enough, she grew another half an inch. Way after any usual indicator would say so. [/quote]

In your case, you are taller than your husband[/quote]

Nope. DH is the 6’ parent. [/quote]
Yes, but 5’8” in a woman is taller than 6’ in a man. I believe the difference between men and women is 5” (on average). If your DD took after DH she should be 5’7” and shorter than you. If you had a son and he took after you, his expected height would be 6’1”[/quote]
