Yes.

OP didn't say that this was about biological parents.

Think of this logically. The majority of grown men will probably be taller than their mother but there are still millions of men around the world who are shorter than their mothers.

My kids are following their growth charts. My daughter was always in the 5th percentile and she’s 5’2”. My son was always between the 75-85th percentile and he’s 6’ even. My youngest who hasn’t started her period yet has always been in the 85-90th percentile and at 12 she’s currently 5’5”.

I’m always amazed at those families who have children that are all the same height and build. They take nice family pictures. My family is all over the place with height.

Most moms are not 6’. It’s very possible that your son won’t be taller than you.
