[quote=Anonymous]OP here, glad other folks think she was a bit nuts. Shes a relative and quite competitive. Don't get me wrong, we are also a family of athletes (track for me and my husband loves his bike), but we want our kids to be in sports to develop discipline and learn to set goals and most of all, have fun and develop lifelong friendships. I'm still friends with my high school and college track teammates. I've never thought about height to be honest. My husband isn't tall, his dad is the tallest one in his family at 5'9 but his mom is probably about 5'2 on a good day and so is his sister. My husband was always taller as a kid but then didn't really grow past 14. My parents are both over 6 feet tall, I'm the short one on my side of the family, along with my grandma. I didn't hit over 5 ft tall until I was 12 though and I've always been on the thin/athletic side. My son is more on the petite side as well, only 3'8, I've noticed he was smaller than a lot of kids his age, but hes always been quite athletic so I've never really paid attention until my relative brought it up. Honestly it kind of stuck in my mind, even though it shouldn't have. We always want whats best for our kids, nobody ever wants to see their kid at a disadvantage. [/quote]
