Us shortys have our advantages OP. We don’t hit our heads on things as much, our heart doesn’t have to work as hard to pump blood through our body, we can walk under tables instead of crawling to get things, old women don’t ask us to grab things high up in the store for them, etc

ETA: I’m 5’8, I feel like I should get a tax credit, handicap tag, at least something, circus membership maybe

My dad is 6’2

Put him to work. You’ll never have to reach up high to get something ever again.

Tell him you knew he would be tall because you planted him deep.

Be a man, and remind him you are his dad. Your house. If he doesnt like it then he can go buy his own chicken. Simple.

My dad beat my arse when I was I 21 for disrepecting my mom, by telling her to shut up. Like punch to the face knocking me down, and kicking me in the rib cage area, balled up eventually, a few times. I didnt do shite about it but take it.

I was taller than my Dad by 3" and my son is projecting to be about 6" taller than me.

Somehow we all survived

The only thing you need to KNOW is that no matter how big he gets, you can still beat his arse. Grown man strength is real. If you can project that, then you'll never have to prove it to him.

I insisted that all of the dates with my wife were horizontal, watching movies in bed.

Beat his arse while he's young and youre still able, this will mentally frick him when he's older. Worked charms on my little brother who is much bigger than me now. haha

Hey Dobby, your subtle brag (you have a 12 year-old, 5’ 11” son) noted:

Tell him to square up and show him you're still the man of the house

Have him do all the “tall chores”. Dusting high up cabinets, cleaning out gutters, hanging Christmas lights, etc. Take advantage of the gift you’ve been given

I told mine that I’d always look up to him.
