The height and dating thoughts are interesting. I should have grown taller since I think tall gals are hot (damn you short parents!). I have never thought a gal a few inches taller than I am is too tall for me but they will most always think I am too short for them.
An additional random thought on height; am I the only guy in the USA under 6' that does not lie about his height? I was with some guys recently and somehow got on the topic of height (probably related to height of gals?). So the one guy says he is 5’-8†even though I am standing next to him at only 5’-9†and my eyes line up just short of the top of his head?

At 6'2 I would be scared of any girl taller than me.
I have dated girls who were near my height with heels on though. That's acceptable. I just could not look UP to a girl I was dating. That would be weird.
here's what I don't get about height. My dad is 5'10. My mom is 5'9. One of my brothers is probably 6'3, the younger one is probably closing on 6 feet. Sister is at least 5'7. WHY AM I SO LITTLE? I work in genetics, and let me tell you what, I am not within the parent average on this one.
Did my mom drink arsenic or something when she was pregnant with me?

I drink my milk AND eat my wheaties. Well, I used to. Wheaties are gross now. Don't know about the milkman but I definitely look like a combo of my parents. Just miniaturized.
My parents are both at least 3 inches shorter than me, and my brother is 3 inches taller than me.
Thing is, we both look exactly like our dad. People always tell us we look just like he did when he was our age. Kinda crazy.

I actually have a theory about that.
Background info: My mother was around 5'2", more if you counted her hair (she WAS Texan, after all...). Daddy was just shy of 6'; his brothers were 3-4 inches taller tho. So there are some tall genes in my family lineage. My oldest sister is in the neighborhood of 5'3", middle sister is 5'9", and I'm, well...getting shorter all the time.
Here's my theory: my parents were somehow unable to locate the tall genes when they had their first daughter. They found them before the second daughter was born, but they were so excited that they found them, they ended up using ALL of them...leaving none to use for daughter number three (me).
It may not be scientifically sound, but it's my theory & I'm sticking to it!
My sons are both over 6 ft; each was taller than me by the age of 10. Fortunately, they got their height from their dad!
Husband is 6'2 so I'm pretty sure all our kids will get his and my parents' genes and by the time kids' ages hit double digits, I'll be the shortest one.
Oh well, maybe a daughter will be able to play volleyball then.
Genetics? Nope. Milk and Wheaties? Nope. I think one of your parents is a mad scientist inventor.
I thought you were having my niece, not my daughter? And for all you know, I could be very athletic.
My Ex Wife is 5'3. My 7 year old son will be lucky to get to 5'10. I blame my ex on that one.
My 5 year old is almost taller than his big brother already and weighs more than his scrawny ***. Grady will probably break 6'.
My question is, why do women get so concerned over their shortness? I've never met a guy that has said "oh I can't date her, she's too short." I get men, because I hear all the time women say they can't date a man because he's "too short" (which is weird because most of the time when I hear that, the dude is taller than the average American man). But I think height of a woman is very rarely a factor for men, unless it's on the tall end.
Introducing food to kids is hard sometimes. When I ask friends or even the Dr's office they're pretty vague about answers. "Whatever you want, just not honey or egg white, peanuts, and dairy until they're one"
Do, do you try out the birthday cake before the party so you don't have to stop the party to run them to the hospital?
And yes, I do realize how paranoid I sound.
