I used to be 5 foot 4 & 1/2, but I've shrunk (this is normal with age - the spine compresses over time). I'm now 5 foot 2, and have to sit on a cushion to drive, in order to see far enough.

I've shrunk too, due to osteoporosis, which cause scoliosis. I used to be 5'3 and 3/4". Now I'm 5'2".
5'8" or 5'9"..... and I am considered short in my family. Seriously.
My mom ran youth sports and I was always middle or short there. My parents are 5'11" and 5'10", my brother is 6', my aunt is 6'2" and my uncle is 6'4". My grandmother's on both side were probably 5'7" ish when they passed away but I was a teenager and they had shrunk by then. My house and my relatives homes all have custom cabinets, tables and counters made for taller people so it wasn't noticable at home or we just tend to buy taller items. It wasn't until I started working at Disneyland and was one of the tallest females in a department of over 700 people that I realized I wasn't short.

All of us are really tall except my mom. I am 5'9. My brothers and Dad are all over 6 foot.
5'5". Not too tall, not too short. Just right. 
Although as a kid I really wanted to be tall like my older cousin. But I think she's technically taller than her husband. So maybe its not all I thought it was.

I'm going to be the shortest in my house when my kids are done growing. We might need that custom cabinetry. DH has hit his head on the trunk of my car I don't know how many times. Meanwhile I just keep unloading the groceries without a care in the world (besides getting all 1500 bags in the house in 2 trips or less). My 2nd grader easily cooks at the stove without a step stool. That got me the other day. Shes growing TOO FAST!
The last time I was measured I was 5' 9". That was quite awhile ago and I am 62 now so I have probably shrunk some.
I'm 5'9" exactly the same as my mother.
i'm 5' 7 1/2 ", or at least i have always (as an adult) been. it's possible i've started shrinking (with age).

I used to be 5'5 but now I am 5'3. I guess it is from the severe osteoporosis that I have.
I'm 5'10". I have always been the tallest girl in nearly every situation, but there is one girl at work who is 6' and I was disappointed when I found out. My dad is 5'11", my mom is 5'9", my sister is 5'8" and my brother broke the sequence and is 6'5".

This reminds me of a woman I used to work for. She had to be 5'10" or more, and when she wore 3" heels, I was eye-level with her boobs. 
I'm 5' 4" if I stand really straight and fluff my hair.
It seems like most of us are about the same height.
My husband teases me by saying I can sit on the curb and dangle my feet. He adds that I don't like to show my driver's license because it's a full-length photo. I tell him I bite what's at tooth height. He says that's OK because I don't have a stepladder and he's wearing boots. I'm really abused!
