    I'm tall (for a woman) at about 5'8-9 and have tall parents (dad is 6'7 and mom was 5'8 when she was young). My boyfriend is 5'6 - 5'7 and his parents are both taller (maybe 5'8 and 5'10?). Who knows? His brother is over 6 feet tall. I think it may have been the fact that he had cancer as a small child that stunted his growth, but maybe he was always meant to be short.

    My Mom = 5'10"
    Dad = 6'0"
    21 yr old brother = 6'4"
    13 yr old sister = 5'7.5" (yes the two youngest have the same parents as I do...no divorce...just time in between)
    9 almost 10 yr old sister = 5'2"

    I am 23 (oldest) and 5'4".

    Most people don't consider that short but when all of your siblings are going to be 5'8" or taller then it is short. My mom's side of the family is all tall too. I am the 3rd oldest and other than my little sister I am the shortest by about the same amount. Same on my dad's side of the family. If I didn't look just like my dad I would wonder lol!

    My little brother looks like my mom's side of the family, and my older brother and I look like my dad's. We had him believing he was adopted for 8 years!

    But all three of us kids are tall (tallest is 6'6"), and my parents are short.

    Yes! I'm 164 centimeters and my mom is 175 cms, she's taller than me even when I wear high heels! And my dad is also almost 190 cm. Someone told me it's because I was born prematurelly. But I really don't know.
