I am also the oldest out of my younger siblings.All our ages are 2 years difference.So i am 62 years old now.Growing up was fine has there were other shortish people at school.I am just glad i wasnt a child now at school i think it could have been terrible.While growing up there just wasnt any help for short people.I was taken to the hospital for checkups.When the doctor went through the family history my mum came up with 2 grandparents who were also shortish.Apparently my mum's mum was 5'0 and my dad's dad was only 4'11.They were both married to tall people.I remember leaving school at 15 and starting work in a factory i was told to stay away from certain parts of the factory because it was a height restricted area.I married Gerald who was around my height 5'0.I used to wear shoes that were 2 ins high which took me to his height when we went out.We have a 3 children.
OUR SON --------------5'3
OUR DAUGHTER----------4'11
OUR SON---------------5'2.
So i do believe that short parents equals short children alway has always will be.
