[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My five year old daughter is 99.75 percentile height. People comment on it CONSTANTLY. In front of her. I really don’t know what to do about it because on the one hand, I want to treat it like a compliment because I want her to see it as a positive or neutral. But on the other hand, I’m so angry at them for calling out her body.

So from a tall mom of a tall kid, please hear my plea: you don’t need to tell me she’s tall. I already know! You might be shocked to discover, I can see her. Thank you. [/quote]

Tall person with tall kids.  This will never end.  People don’t care and are rude and will tell you you’re over sensitive.  If people walked around openly discussing weight the way they discuss height it would get interesting quick.[/quote]

You’re both nuts.  And (deliberately) over sensitive.  People comment on tall kids the way they comment on beautiful kids.  If you’re offended or angered by it it’s an excellent indication that you have absolutely zero real problems in your life and are craving drama.
