Wow! I remember watching a short documentary about them like 10 years ago when the 3rd child was a newborn. This was a nice surprising update and I love how resourceful they are ❤❤❤
„We have to celebrate Difference“
One minute later:
„I was really fed up of being approached by short men“
Well…😂🤔
Lmao
Classic tall woman mindset...
All she have to offer is her height 😂
@@r4pst4r65…
Time flies, I remembering reading about this family around 2012 or 2013. It's incredible how much their kids have grown.
I’m 6’6 and had a great uncle who was 7’2. I bang my head an awful lot on doorways and things. Clothes shopping is a pain too 👍
Every doorway should have mind head so they don't discriminate against tall people 😉
I'm 5'8" and I hit my head on the kitchen extractor fan, your uncles head would be sticking into the next floor or my house
how tall are the rest of your family ?
@@zahraali1029 between 6’2 and 6’4
How is dating wise?
“ we had to normalize our height, teaching our kids not to see differences”
Before that
“ I was fed up with short men”
Lol
😂😂
Excatly , that had no sense
I enjoyed your positive message to except our self as we are and make the most of life...
God's Grace and blessing 🙏🙏🙏
great video!
There was a man called John Carswell who built Carnasserie Castle in Argyll & Bute, Scotland. He was 7 feet tall which is why the construction of his castle is quite tall, the ceiling height had to be custom to suit his height and castle really suits a person of his stature especially in terms of the art and design that was much influenced by the renaissance period as is the architecture.
Evidence: archaeologists dug up his skeleton and it measured 7ft tall, I think it’s now in a museum somewhere, not too sure though.
There are many advantages of being tall such as the highest shelf in the shop or the kitchen cupboard or the clock on the wall or even for painting and decorating
Beautiful family!
i have the same thing happened to me like the bald father, i also got my height from uncles and grandfather, my mom (5’4) and dad (5’9) and my uncles all tower (6’1 to 6’3), as well as my grandpa, im currently (6’0) at 17 yrs old
"I was fed up being approached by fat women" = omg that's so awful you are such an awful person
"I was fed up being approached by short men" = you go girl. You do you.
How it is that something you have no control over is okay to comment out but something you have complete control over is other people's problem to deal with.
I'm so glad I'm not short. Short guys have it so rough.
I'm very short (5'0) and I'm fine with people openly stating their disinterest (romantly or sexualy) in short people if they aren't interested, it's saves me from wasting my time on someone who is simply not going to be compatible and saves me from having to ask myself what I could have done wrong. But I also think it should be okay to be openly disinterested (romantically of sexualy) in any trait inherited or not (as long as they aren't cruel about it).
there was a massive cut when she said that, it might have removed some context.
@@yaboi-km2qn Well whatever the case is, her statment is still insensitive. Even then and inspite being a short man, I can say I'm not offended. But then I'd expect the same level of understanding from society when I say "I don't prefer women with darker skin tone" or "women who are overweight".
She's obviously a woman who likes being with a man taller than her, which is 95% of women.
It’s not the same comparison.
If a men said “i was tired of being approached by tall women” nobody would care either. People are so used to telling me “you are so tall” all the time but if i said to someone “you are so fat” it would be considered an insult. Nobody should comment on other people bodies, but this stupid society think that only fat people can have low self esteem
I love this family!! So amazing the height and the interracial and the British. Awesome
He doesn't look that much taller than her when we see them standing beside each other
Yes, doesn't look like 6'' difference.
I love when love is on display. This made me beam!
Wurr this is so nice
it seems like a pain to need something extra for nearly every aspects of your life, like taller shower and ceilings, larger bed and car, need to eat more, etc. especially if you're not as wealthy as NBA players who could easily afford these things
I know what you mean!
Lovely 😍
My father is 6.5 and I m 6.4 and I m happy with that ❤️❤️❤️😍
Lucky my dads height is around 6’0 or 5’11 and mom is 5’6 and I’m 5’8 I’m so sad and mad
@@daviroza4700 Sad for that height? But it's the average, why should you be sad for things you cannot control? lmao
@@sevyeun women want 6’5 husband not 5’8
@@daviroza4700 But those who just choose you by your height are superficial. Besides that, are you only gonna be happy because a woman likes you or not? You should improve your self esteem
Actually, her husband was measured at 6'9.75", I'm not sure why he claims to be 7 feet tall.
Lots of tall people exaggerate their height, not entirely sure why though.
He's probably simply referring to his height in shoes. As that's how tall he is when out in public ducking under doorways.
@@edwardfletcher7790 Those would have to be some pretty thick shoes!
@@mxyzptlk3736 All the heels & liner on my work shoes are over 1" and most of my sneakers are 2".
This guy wears a size 14 which is small for his height...
Still wouldn't make him 7 ft , get real
I know the struggles of being tall, too. I'm "only" 202cm tall, but i'm also a little overweight. Finding clothes is a nightmare, i can only drive older cars because they are more spacious and so on.
I have problems with my knees, my back und my blood pressure. Most of the time i hate my height. 😒
People always make fun of me or the first thing they notice is my height only...and everybody wants to talk about it.🙄
Where did i get my height from!? No one knows! My father was only 188cm and my mother is just 168cm. We were 7 kids at home and i'm by far the tallest. My oldest brother is just 172cm. 😅
@@lukeandrews2154 I'm a 37 yo german guy, my friend.
Was your parents mailman tall ? LOL
@@edwardfletcher7790 ...funny...😑
Im 'only' 199cm at 16, and clothes are a pain.
Ooh they might get taller than the current Minnesota family
I'm a 43 year old male and I'm only five foot six, have been since early High School, and I would give nearly anything to be at least 6 ft tall
@@ravi.tiwari. Is that comment supposed to mean something?
There's always been a demand for racing car drivers, jockeys, miners, tank drivers and numerous other jobs that require shorter people.
My height (6'2") has been a disadvantage in several of my jobs as I couldn't physically do the work comfortably.
My Dad was 5'7", when he grew up that was the average height.
I'm 5'2 and i am 19 years old and i feel good with my life and bro you are 43 get over that and keep going with life fr you are a grow ass man stop thinking like that it's not mature
@@naruto-sensei2426 you ok bro? you need a hug?
Height isn't the most important thing in life and since we have no control over how tall we end up in our adulthood, I wouldn't worry about it. Just be happy with everything else, that makes you special. I know a guy who's my age (25) and he's about 5'1 and he doesn't care about it. He is a good breakdance dancer, makes rap music and just enjoys his life.
I like this.
I had a great great granddad who was 7’2 and my parents r 6’0 and 6’4 and my height is 6’3 almost 6’4 and my sister is 5’10 and one of my uncles was 6’6
That was really, really nice. Even if this married couple were both a foot shorter, this would be a very nice story, of two people of different backgrounds truly loving each other.
I hate being 2’2
I'm 6'1, and I'd feel like a child next to them
i have a mate mattie who is 14 and he is 2m tall 6foot7 and his great uncle was 7foot8
Same but my friends uncle is 7 2
i wish i was 10 foot tall
i guess im very inspired to get taller or something
I am still growing I am currently 1.88m 6'2 barefoot I would love to be 7 foot 9 or 241m
Yeah and had all that health issues that comes with it haha
I'm 6ft3 and I wish I was taller, my Uncle was 6ft9.
Dude, you'd only wish that until you spent a week at 6'9".
You wouldn't even fit in a normal car ! Catch a taxi, buy clothes, kiss a girl of average height !
Why don't you have a chat with your Uncle.
@@edwardfletcher7790 I'm 6'3 I would love to be 6'9 dads 6'8 I like perspective so wouldn't mind being that tall I wouldn't buy a small car
Bruh your 6’3 and complaining I’m 5’8 😂😂😂 and so many people are like 5’5 u must be crazy to complain
Im 5’4 and my husband is 6’4. My daughter is 12 and my height. My son is 10 and 4’10. I think my daughter is going to be above average. Im curious to see how tall my son gets i dont see him getting to 6ft though
You would be surprised
why dont you think he'll be 6ft? I'm guessing 6'3
Update 😂
He is gonna be atleast 6' 3 because you have an average female height
Good siversity
Cute babies and nice family
6'2 eyes of blue
Have you really not thought about giving equivalents in standard units? I still have no idea how tall they are, after watching the video.
7 feet = 2m13 - 6ft6 = 2m01
You're a grown man. It's shameful that you can't convert them into other units.
Every video on CZcams should mention both systems for world viewing.
@@IkesPimpHand Don't be a prat. Some countries haven't used imperial for hundreds of years !
@@edwardfletcher7790 yeah,like mine. We use metric too.
Im 7 foot 6
Ai from greek 🇬🇷 14 years old 1,89.6cm
I’m 6.8 and my dad 6.6 and my mom 6.1
Problems with being tall
My head hurts alot 🤣🤣
#6ft4in
im fourteen im five eight i dont think im that tall
My dad is 7foot4
And my mam is 6 foot 6
Damn he got a big head
and i’m 5foot5 age 14 mum 5foot4 dad 5foot 7
imagine if the guy said, i only want a blonde white girl. but everyone's fine with women saying i only want tall guys. oh the double standards.
If she is 6’6 then her husband isn’t an inch taller than 6’8…. I wonder why is he calling himself 7 feet.
6’8 is tall enough so no need to claim himself 7 feet.
I agree. maybe 6' 9" but definitely not 7 feet
🌄 beautiful fam (normal not hormone dysfunction)...🎉🏡❤️#GiveThanks 🙂
Doesn't a country in Africa officially has the tallest people!
