Funny, I always thought the F Major was the one people got f'ed up on, thus making it a well named chord. I personally remember having trouble with the C chord as well (and my hands aren't small) but looking back, I can't imagine why; it is deceivingly simple chord, I guess you could say.

I would just move on, get other chords down, and come back to it when you're fingers are streched out more. You could also get those 'stress balls' to help improve your grip, if your problem is strength.

I also would like to point out something else one should always work on: using the very tips of your fingers instead of the 'fingerprint' part of it. You will be able to play more complex chords without fingers 'buzzing' other strings.

Good luck, don't give up to easy,
