Default An everlasting problem

I tried to learn the piano when i was 9 or so ... took courses for 2 years but stopped cz i was a kid and i was stupid ... anyway, i'm trying to learn the guitar, and the same problems that i had then, i still have them now ...

i thought i would out-grow it but doesn't seem so ...
and the problem is ... my hands are always too small for the instrument ... i do have REALLY small hands and it really gets in the way of learning the easiest chords ... the G chord seems like this impossible task, having to put a finger on the first and the other on the sixth without touching the ones between ... and i haven't dealt with the third finger here.

and i don't really want to play on the kiddie guitar ... the ukulele seems like the perfect instrument here ... but i don't want to play on the ukulele!
so is there something like: too small hands ... or should i just live with it and have a crooked hand for another month until it becomes numb like the state of my finger tips.
I'm not trying to be a drama-queen [tho i sound like it] ... but my hands scream "doomed".
