I'm 5'4". I kind of wish I was a couple inches taller, but I'm ok with it. My Mom is 5'4" and my Dad is 5'8". My brother is I think close to 6". He gets that from my Mom's side, most of my uncles on that side are taller. I must have long legs, my pants I need a 31" or 32" inseam. A stepstool is my friend. My shoe size is 6.
My DD (16) is about 5'10", her Dad (my Ex) is 6'2". She doesn't like being that tall. She doesn't want to date a boy shorter than her. So the selection is not great currently. Her shoe size is about 10.5 and she doesn't like that either. I'm hoping it's the age, since she's stuck with it.

I'm 5'7 and never thought much about my height, so I guess I am happy with it 😃
There are so many other things about my body/looks that I silently wish small changes for, but my height is definitely not one of them. Being completely average is great!
Also never thought about my nose much, but had a lot of girlsfriends who were unhappy with theirs. I guess my nose is pretty average too.
I have parts that I am very happy with too, it's not line I want to change everything but my height and nose 😂 I have nice, full lips in a pretty shape, and I can cut glass with my cheekbones 😃

I'm about 4'11.5" and wish I was taller. I think 5'6" would probably be my idea height, but I would be happy with anything taller than I am now. It would be nice to fit in chairs better, not have to have a step stool for everything, not have to hem my pants, etc.
I have four boys and really don't want them to be short. That might sound shallow (and I know another pea was blasted awhile ago for saying she hoped her daughter would be taller than she seems like she will be) but the way I was treated, particularly when I was younger, for being short was horrible. I only imagine it would be harder for boys, especially when you add in the competition of sports. Currently, my 16 year old is between 5'9" and 5'10". I was hoping he would grow another inch or two but I am not sure he will grow anymore. He had an MRI due to an injury in the fall and they said his growth plate was still open but I don't think he has grown for awhile. He has always been in the 60% for height and that is about where he is now. My 14 year old has always been off the charts. He is currently at least 6'1" The other two are 11 and 8 and so far in the 80th and 100th% for height so we will see what happens.
On both sides of my family there are no aunts, uncles or cousins who are short. I do have one grandparent on each side that are fairly short (but taller than me) but apparently I am the only one who got their genes. My female cousins are all taller than 5'8". I was 4lbs 2oz and I think 16 inches long when I was born due to some problems with the placenta. I have always wondered if that affected my growth even after birth.

I'm 5"4' and generally fine with it. My daughters are 5'5" and 5'4". The only time I think that I'm "short" is when I take a group picture with my bestie (5'10") and our husbands (both around 6'1")...
