Comments on: Short end of the stick http://www.multitaskingmama.com/2008/12/short-end-of-the-stick/ Musings of a mama juggling it all Sun, 12 Feb 2012 01:43:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Thelma http://www.multitaskingmama.com/2008/12/short-end-of-the-stick/comment-page-1/#comment-239 Thelma Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:04:00 +0000 http://www.multitaskingmama.com/?p=57#comment-239 count us in on the short end of the stick. It is okay for my petite girls to be petite. In that my 5 year old wears a 4T and my 2.5 year old wears 12-18 months clothing and very petite. <br/><br/>However, my son, my oldest child is 8 years old and wears the same size as his 5 year old sister. He wears a 4T and some 5 T's with alterations...he is just maybe 3 inches or so taller than his 5 year old sister. We are supposed to go to an endocrine specialist in Jan. However, we have had him tested before with no lack of growth hormone.......he is just well.....short. My great grandfather was only 5 feet tall I am 5 feet tall, dh is 5 feet 8, maybe 5 feet 9 if he stands real tall....LOL. so I hear ya. people think my oldest and my middle are boy and girl twins. People try and treat him like he is a 4 or 5 year old...he does not take kindly to this at all....LOL. But he has a mighty brain and the faith of little David. so I guess over all it works out but while it is okay for girls to be petite and small...its not so much...with my son......where others are concerned. count us in on the short end of the stick.

Just to let you know, I'm 5'8" and my husband is 5'6". (I swore I'd never date anyone shorter than me.) He is the most wonderful, thoughtful man I know. He's very chivalrous. I have 3 sons. Not all biological. Not sure which will be tall (if any) and which will be on the shorter side. I don't worry too much. I just want to make sure I can help them be happy in the body they were given. Not sure how to do that. But that is my goal.<br/><br/>Jan Just came across your blog from RR. Just to let you know, I’m 5’8″ and my husband is 5’6″. (I swore I’d never date anyone shorter than me.)

My husband worries about it, but when they are little I want to keep them that way. My babies were not babies long because they were so long and tall. :( HOpe your boys sprout soon:) My kids are tall for their ages, but both Secret Agent and I are tall.

People are always commenting about his size. He is 11 and just now starting to hit somewhat of a growth spurt. But boys that are younger than him are still taller than him. <br/><br/>We had to go to a neurologist for a while because of headaches. The N. was concerned about his lack of height, but said nothing was wrong on the mri. He asked my son when was he going to grow.<br/><br/>Hubby is 6'2", but he was 4'9" when he started high school. He grew 12" in 13 mths. I am expecting our son to do the same. <br/><br/>So hang in there! There's still time! My son is short for his age too. People are always commenting about his size.

Hubby is 6’2″, but he was 4’9″ when he started high school. He grew 12″ in 13 mths. I am expecting our son to do the same.

So hang in there! There’s still time!
