Living in the US, I don't want a son who's short. I'd love him the same, but it would be hard for him, but I like this short woman. What do I do?

Obviously I'm thinking way in advance, but I really want to have a family one day, but I do not want my kids to go through difficult lives. This woman I like is one of the shortest women I've ever met, and she's beautiful, but I'm also only about average height.

Obviously if I didn't want kids, this would be a no brainer, but since I do, how can I go for a shorty without fearing that my kids will live difficult lives. This is really not about me at all because I would love the kids just the same, but I don't want them to get bullied or unable to do things the taller kids can, especially if I have a son. I really don't want anyone to go through a difficult life.

I believe family values, a healthy lifestyle, and willingness to work hard determine marriage success, not superficial things like height or facial beauty. The happiest marriages I know are between ugly people who love and respect each other.

Yeah that's good for you but what about your kids being bullied by other kids?

I'm 5'0" and never been bullied for my height.

I guess you just find a tall woman who has a long history of tall females in the family.

Have fun with that.

Yeah because you are female. I'm really imagining if I had a son. What if he is 5'3? Still taller than you but you can probably imagine his experience would be much more different than yours

How is thinking about my future kids not grown up?
