I'm taller than both parents. Not sure where it came from.

I'm an inch shorter than my mom (dad is taller). I don't care, never bothered me, never considered being short a bad thing (I'm 5'2").

yes and yes

Knew a woman who was 5'10". Her mom was 6'2" and her dad was 6'5". They always joked she must be the mailman's kid.

this.

I am a shorty, and I'm cool with that. I didn't care at all about how tall my parents were in comparison to me. I come from a line of petite women, so I had no expectation of being any taller than I am.

My daughter is likely on track to be about my height.

My parents are 6'4 and 5'4.

Kids are:
DD 5'5
DD 5'6
DS 6'3

As far as I know, we are all fine with our heights except my Dad who is too tall to be comfortable in standard seats (cars, planes, theaters). My brother is borderline too-tall. They both think there is a big difference between 6'2" and 6'4".

Well, certainly I'm shorter than my dad (I'm a woman). He's 5'9 and I'm 5'4. My mom is 5'3. She and I have the same sized hands and feet.

I am shorter than my parents but never thought about or was bothered by it.

Yes, I'm 5'5", mom is 5'7" or so, and dad is 5'9" or so. I love my height so no, I don't wish I was taller than them. However, I plan on marrying someone hella tall so my kids might be taller than me.

Yes and yes. My mother is 5'9". My father is taller than her. I am 5'4". I wish I was 5"6" or 7".

Yes, I'm shorter than they are, but I'm pretty tall and would not want to be taller. (I'm female).

yes. Mom is 5'8" and I'm 5'5" (and a half). DD is 11 and going to be super-tall. She's already calling me "shorty" but I told her she has to wait until she actually surpasses me before teasing me

Why would I want to specifically be taller than my parents?

I'm fine with my height, haven't given much thought to it relative to that of my parents', or anyone else really.

Yes and yes.

Do you sometimes wish you were taller than them?
