How much taller are you than your father?

[godjoey]

I'm trying to see if there is some sort of pattern here.

My mother is 5'3 1/2
My father is 5'10-5'11
I'm 6'3

[bigtallox]

My dad is 5'7" and my mom was 5'7".

[icedemon]

I'm 6' 2" and my dad is 6'. He used to be 6' 2". My mom is 5' 3".

[EB68]

My dad is 5'7" and my mom was 5'7".

Serious? If so you were likely taller than both of them at 10/11 years old? That must have been awkward.

my mother is 5'9 and my dad 6'1" I took after my mom

[HowSwole]

My father is about an inch taller than me. I'm catching up though.

[GuyJin]

I'm just a shade under five-eleven. (I'll have to fix my signature). My parents are both gone, but I remember my father being five-seven. He was bowlegged, and had he not been so he would have been five-nine. My mother was a bit over five-six.

As an aside, my wife is five feet even and my thirteen year-old son is almost five-eight. My little boy--ten--is almost five feet in height. I think both my boys might end up taller than I am.

[tobymax123]

Dad was 6'1", Mom was 5'2". I came out right in the middle at 5'8".

[discdoggie]

My father was 6'3" and my mother is 5'4". Both my male siblings are 6'3" and my sister is 5'6". WTF happened to me is a sad mystery. I barely eek out 60 inches.

I was as tall as them when I was 9 1/2 and it the 4th grade.

A whole lot of tall delivery folks out there apparently.....

[quietchef]

I was as tall as them when I was 9 1/2 and it the 4th grade.

Ditto.

I was a well fed boy with growth spurts from opposite sides hitting at opposite years, tallest of any blood relative on either side at a mere 6 foot tall. Dad and mom around 5'4". Passed them up by the 6th grade if I remember right.

[LisaSkinnoble]

My father had all daughters, and we're all shorter than he.

On my parents' wedding day, my dad was 6'1" and 117 lbs. srs. And with a voracious appetite. He was born in 1936 and was taller than his parents and all of his siblings.

At his heaviest, he might have gotten up to 185 lbs. He is currently around 155 lbs.

And he is very handsome. Always has been.

My mom is 5'9", and as I said, they had all daughters. The tallest of us is 5'8", and she married a fellow who was 6'4". Their son is 7 feet tall.
