Mother-in-law Annoyed Saying "I Told You Not to Feed Him" While Taking Milk from Three-Year-Old Grandchild

[Financial News] A story was shared about a mother-in-law who, expecting her grandson to grow too tall due to family genetics, forbids him from drinking milk.

On the 22nd, according to JTBC 'Incident Manager', a woman in her 30s, Ms. A, said, "My husband is very tall at 190cm. My father-in-law is also 188cm, and my mother-in-law is 170cm, so the whole family is tall," and "My husband, who was called the tallest kid in school from a young age, said he always attracted attention because of his height."

Ms. A said, "My husband has an introverted personality, so he was always stressed by such attention," and "His foot size is over 300, so it was not easy to buy shoes, and finding proper pants was also difficult."

She continued, "My mother-in-law was worried that my husband would grow too tall, so she didn't give him milk or let him play sports like basketball from a young age."

The mother-in-law's concern extended to Ms. A's three-year-old son. Ms. A said, "I'm not short either at 167cm. So whenever my in-laws see my grandson, they always say, 'He shouldn't grow too tall,'" and "One day, she suddenly snatched the milk my child was drinking and complained, 'I told you not to feed him milk!'"

Ms. A asked for advice, saying, "I want to let my son eat what he wants and raise him healthily, but I'm worried that if this continues, it will get worse later. What should I do?"

In response to this story, netizens commented, "Kids who will grow tall will grow tall even without milk," "Height is genetic. With a dad who is 190cm and a mom who is 167cm, how can the child not grow tall?" and "Times have changed. Nowadays, everyone envies being tall."
