(Reddit) I ruined my son's life

[slaters]

I truly believe that I have ruined any form of happiness for my son. When my son was a young boy, he was very short for his age but was still supposedly growing at a “normal rate” just in the bottom 5th percentile of height. For reference, I am a 5’8 male and my wife is about 5’1 so I knew my son would be on the short side. However, I had no clue that he would actually end up at his predicted height of 5’3. My wife and I figured that he would be around 5’8. The doctor had asked if we would think about growth hormones, although they weren’t necessarily required, as he had no sort of growth deficiencies. With treatment, he could have been between 5’5-5’8 and around 5’3 without. I was a short kid growing up so I know how it feels and I really wanted to give them to my son. But my wife was adamant that they are bad and could cause health issues down the road and that it wasn’t worth an extra 1-4 inches. Ultimately, I bit my tongue and my son is now 5’3 at age 20 and hates his life due to the fact that he is pretty short. He also hates me and his mother because we refused treatment. I genuinely feel like complete shit because being 5’3 as an adult male seems fucking brutal (would never say this to him). Anyways, I don’t know if I am in the wrong or if it’s just his life perception that being short is bad but either way I feel terrible.

Normies are so retarded that they think their optimism bias is more scientifically accurate than a doctor’s prediction. Dude told them he was gonna end up 5’3 but they still thought they could make him 5’8 with the power of love and friendship

 

[albanianblackguy]

i was like 5'2 at 15 and my mom refused growth hormone as well, would probably blame her if i didnt get a growth spurt to 5'10 and a half, fucking hell life was brutal at the time

It wouldn’t even have to be through some way. Insurance would’ve covered the majority. She was worried about health issues but now his mental health is worse than anything growth hormone could’ve caused.
There probably wasn’t even any serious sides she was just being a fucking retard
GH and roids are worth the sides for some people

Face is law

If he barely grew taller than his mom chances are his face is underdeveloped too

So fucking brutal. 5'8 and 5'3 must be an insane difference in terms of life experience, 5'8 you're somewhat short and might be a bit insecure about it but still get basic respect and normal treatment from other people, and 5'3 your whole life revolves around being a midget cus you're literally short even for a woman
