My brother and I are just an inch taller than our parents, but that's not saying much because they're not very tall (and neither are we!). Mr. Bee's dad is tall though, so hopefully Olive and Charlie inherit his tall genes! (Mr Bee is not taller than his dad).
What about your family?

Nope, both my brother and I are shorter. We have different dads but both were 6'2 and our mom is 5'7. I'm just under 5'5 and he's 5'3.

Yes! I am the oldest of 4 girls, but the shortest. Actually, we go in exact reverse order, height-wise.

I am 5'4" and my mom is 5'3". Not sure how my brothers stack up against my Dad. I think they might be shorter though?

I am taller than my mom but not my dad, and my brother is taller than my mom and probably about the same as my dad, and my older sister is shorter than everyone!

I was taller than my mum and I'm as tall as my dad, DH is the same. He's average height for a man (6 feet) and I'm a tall woman (almost 5'10"). His brother is equally tall but my sisters are shorter.

My brother is one inch taller than my dad (6 foot and 6'1"). My sisters and I are all within an inch of each other around 5'7" and my mom is 5'8". Kind of weird that none of use ended up in between, but still, we are all kind of tall.
I hope if we have a son, he gets my dad's tall genes. DH is 5'10", which is fine, but taller would be better

We're both taller than my mom, both shorter than my dad.
Mom - 5'2"
Sister - 5'4"
Me - 5'9"
Dad - 6'2"
DH is taller than both of his parents at 6'1", I'm pretty sure LO will be tall too, she is already super long
