I am not sure how I feel about this article. It almost makes a joke of heightism.

"Alexis is three inches taller than me so far – she overtook me suddenly last year and I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s quite funny at times, trying to be in “serious mum mode” when you’re looking up. Other times, it’s useful. Alexis can open the security lock on the back door and I can’t – but she can also reach the sweetie jar in the kitchen and I can’t, which is not good, is it?”"

I skimmed over this. I seen some women were mad and some were happy. Either way, being mad that your daughter is taller than you or hoping for her to be taller is horrible. The one said she smoked while pregnant too and thought that contributed to height? WHAT?

This sounds like one of them attention grabbing, lets bash short people artciles. I saw no point in this article at all and it offered no help for anyone.

It is funny when mother's become happy about their kids being tall, like being short is a death sentence.

This is like some TLC or Life network crap. I don't wanna hear this crap or read it. It is a bunch of bull that shows how stupid some women can be.

That is what made me post this. Like they act like a person being short is a illness. Like what thee actually f is wrong with some people. I would rather be short and healthy and tall with a lot of health issues.

This is really how many think. I've seen some tell guys they were "taller than them" even though they were clearly several inches shorter with heels on.

Seems like no one had a problem with this except for the female executives. Their issue with this lead them to fire Melora Hardin, the tall woman.
