Right or Left handed?

**unicorn9149** · 01-23-2003, 08:50 AM

My bro and sis are lefty and I'm righty. 2 of my 3 grandkids are lefty but their parents are righty. They were about 18 months when we noticed. granddaughter may be amidexterous as she draws with both hands at the same time. When she draws faces she draws the eyes and ears usin both hands at the same time

We're all righties except for my mom. She does everything left handed except batting.

i write mainly with my right hand, but so many things my mom taught me to do craftwise (using wire cutters, making bows, etc) so I learned them lefty. I can also write fairly well with the left.

ravenlost, my mom went thru a lot of that catholic getting smacked on the left hand with a ruler herself. The Devil's hand, indeed.

She said growing up you knew who was left handed because of how their hand dragged through the ink, and the heel of their left hands were always inked and their papers smudged.

My SIL had the opposite problem. Her Mom was very controling and decided she wanted a lefty so told teachers she was a lefty and make sure she was taught to write lefty. That's the only thing she does lefty

Im a lefty, and my husband is right handed
my 7 yr old is ambidextrous(sp?) but now usually only writes with his left hand because the SCHOOL told him he wasnt allowed to use both hands. WTF?? If he can use 'em both whats the big deal?? you could read his writing with both hands.

My 3 yr old is a righty.. and my 1 yr old is going to be right handed also I believe. he favors EVERYTHING with his right.

My sister is left handed like I am and we got that from my maternal grandmother. My son got the ambidextrous thing from my uncle on my dads side. He was also an artist which my brother and sis inherited .. im lucky if i can draw a stick figure..lol

I'm left handed..my whole family is right handed.
Went through the Catholic school thing too..boy was that
rough!! LOL!! My favorite saying about lefties:

Everyone is born right handed...only the best of us
overcome it!!

I'm a righty, hubby's a righty and our son is a lefty. he's 3, but we noticed early on with rattles/bottles/grabbing crayons with his left.

I'm a lefty,hubby is a righty. Oldest DS is a righty, middle DS is... well he wasn't born with most of his hands, so he uses both for everything. And my 21 month old little girl favors her left. We just noticed that the other night while eating dinner. She used her fork in her left hand the whole time.
