[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The energy from parents of short boys is unmatched.  It is awful really.  I get why they feel this way but the palpable angst about it is a lot.  [/quote]

How tall are your sons?[/quote]

Why does that matter though?   You just want a misery stew with fellow parents of short sons?[/quote]

It was already given away that person doesn’t have short sons. It’s like a rich person telling a poorer one that money isn’t so great and to stop worrying about it. [/quote]

Probably the mom of a “super tall” seventh grader who is 5’8. And is done growing so will forever remain 5’8. But at least he’s the star of the middle school basketball team! [/quote]

Sorry to burst the bubble of hilarity created by the idea that someone would think they have a tall son and then be rudely surprised by a (gasp) short son in the end.  Lolz though.  But no, I don't have a 7th grader with a beard who is 5-8.

The palpable angst comment comes from knowing people in real life who talk about this and agonize about it and their sons know.  That's what is awful.  I'm sure that's none of you and you all never convey your disappointment anywhere but on DCUM.

If it wasn't this it would be something else.  Everyone has something.  Life is not fair.  Everyone's heart breaks for their kid some of the time over something.  It's being a human who parents.[/quote]

This is such a weird and dramatic take on a question that simply asked about when and how other people’s sons experienced the adolescent growth spurt, something that happens to them all. OP didn’t sound angsty, but you do. [/quote]
