Waved ta-ra to 52 last November and trying hard not to think about how many more birthdays I might see.

My son hit 13 two months before my birthday. Stood next to him I'm feeling a bit short. He's tall, yes but I think I'm returning to ground zero. Have always had myself down as 5'11", but with age and the kids growing rapidy, I'm feeling like I'm nearer 5'8".

My mum used to be 5'2", but now as she approaches her eighties, you'd struggle to get much more than 4'.

Anyone else shrinking?

hehe

Not me, though I've 'changed' height.

I used to be 6' 1"; now I'm 186 cm.

You can’t shrink that much.

It’ll be posture.
