I'm 4ft11 ishand my hubby is over 6ft, not a big prob for us but my son is gona be tall like his dad. Sometimes though I really wish I was taller, I wish people wouldn't treat me different because of my height and wish I was able to shut certain windows without having to stand on something. Generally I'm not fussed with my height but now and then itd be nice to be a bit taller!!

Well i love being short. I'm only 5'3 and my husband is 6'5 and I love being wraped up in his arms. But i cant reach the top shelf or top of the fridge, then i want to be taller. LOL

Thanks for your response, yeah being short is nice but to be a bit taller at times would be useful, maybe I should invest in some stilts ha ha!

I'm somewhere between 5'6" & 5'7"... I'd like to be little bit taller, like 6' or 6'1"... I'd like to lose some weight as well...

Yeah I'd like to lose some weight as well, you are quite tall though, well compared to me LOL! Weight is a whole different discussion HA HA, I could do with losing a stone, my mum has just lost loads of weight through illness and I said if I could give her some of mine i would quite happily. Thanks for the response

I'm 5'2" and my husband is about 6'3". Our son is about 5'7" now (he's 14) and my daughter is only 5'0" (she is turning 13). I guess he took after his dad and she after me. She desperately wants to be taller so these days I wish I were a bit taller. It would be nice for a few days to be able to reach the top cabinets without a stepladder! I keep telling her that good things come in small packages and that there are people who are a lot shorter and to be thankful for what we got. Have a great one!

Yeah I was always told good things come in small packages, but I do agree with your comments, there are people shorter! Thanks for your response :-)
