I'm 6' & DH about 5'10
My mum was also about 6', his mum 5'

Our DDs were 75th centile growing up
DSs were 50th & 90th

DDs (both now around 30) are both about 5'7

DS1 (was 50th) is 6'1 ish
DS2 (was 90th) is about 6'4

Make of that what you will Grin

I am short- 5 ft 2 and DH 6ft. DD is small and DS is tall.

I am 4 ft 11 and STBXP is 6 ft 3 and DS1 (15) always followed 75th centile until a year or so ago when he continued growing at the same rate but most DC entered a growth spurt so he fell to 50th centile but now he's finally started his growth spurt and is growing faster just when the graph is starting to level out he's back at 75th centile and may go above this if his growth spurt continues. He's currently 5 ft 9, would like to reach 6 foot.

DS2 (11) has always been smaller between 25th and 50th centiles but now many his age have started their growth spurts I think he may be a bit below 25th centile. But he has also always weighed less than DS1, he has always been about 50th centile weight and DS1 75th and when I put their details into height predictors it always predicts almost identical final heights so he may grow for longer being lighter I guess.

I got really badly bullied for being short and specifically wanted my DC to have a tall Dad but in view of our impending split am now thinking I should have focused a bit more closely on his other qualities!

Me 5'4 and DH 6'5 - our DC are ridiculously tall. DS(10) is almost as tall as me. DD(9) is also tall and skinny.

I am 5ft1, DH is 6ft2/3.
DS is very tall for his age: 2nd tallest in his year of 90 kids, age 7 and wear age 9 trousers.
But DD is average height.
