left handed

as i was reading a thread backwards(quite common in left handers) i was just wondering:) how many of you are left handed..are your parents(i heard theres only 25% chance even if both your parents are left handed?).. and i know bubs dont have a dominant hand sometimes till 2 but what did your children end up?

My parents and brother are right handed(and green eyed for the matter) and I'm blue eyed and left handed....so I'm a freak..but my Dad think he was mad to change from left handed and my Gran certainly was

Dh's family his Mum and sister are..but not him.. so I wonder about Ethan..not that it matters just bored and wondering randomly:)

my nana is left handed and i think kobe might be, he bats etc... left handed but that could also be to do with the premature thing cos apparently a high percentage of premature babies are left handed, something to do with the side of the brain that developes first or something

I am the only left handed of four kids, dad was left handed but made to change at school. I am not sure about Lachie but sometimes I think he is a lefty as well. When I am feeding him he pinches, but only when his left hand is on top - bl**dy hurts!

I'm left handed, as is my oldest sister but both our parents are right handed. My nephews are both right handed but I think Keziah will be a lefty as it seems to be her dominant hand DF is ambidextrous but his right hand is stronger

My mum is left handed, and so is one of my brothers - although myself and the other bro and righties. I think Alyssa will be left handed too as it seems to be the most dominant hand no matter what she's doing. Not sure when it's definite though?

canopeners suck..somewhere i went had a left handed one!!:)

my2angels yeah i heard that too not sure why...i just through in the thing bout eye colour cause I'm so weird in my family:) yeah teaching in general sucks left handed esp as you say any boards!!:)

thunderwolves interesting i wonder if he will be too... seems quite a few people are lefties :) supposed to be 1 in 7 but i think we are taking over the world...the only problem i have is the wrong side of my brain is dominant(the left) so i am super good at some things and it takes forever to learn others (things on right side) but I'm not very creative..maybe thats why? (as normally lefties are 'supposed ' to be but they normally have right side brain dominated) oh and scissors as a child but i have left handed ones now.. its useful teaching kids as i make sure the left handed ones are ok:)and have what they need.

caramel.. thats interesting i wonder how that works:)

pepsi- generally its definite by 2..but lots of children have a clear preference long before that.. but lots of children switch between.

mummy becks..hmm that would be an awful lot of twins though?

I'm left-handed. I like that it's a little different and everyone seems to think it's sooo weird that I am. I don't get the big deal really!

My dad is a lefty, mum is right. I have 2 older sisters who are both right, then me and my younger brother are both left. Although my bro only uses his left hand for writing, everything else he does he uses his right hand, even kicks with right foot. My dad is about the same.

I'm a COMPLETE lefty - I couldn't live without my left-side of my body, it feels like it's soo much more in control and stronger than my right. I can only wink my left eye and kick with my left foot. I too find it so frustrating when writing, as my hand smears the ink across the page, and the ringbinder notebooks are such a pain!

My Dh is right-handed and so far it seems both R and G are right-handed. Who knows what Jett will be.

I'm a leftie, none of the rest of my family are; 5 kids and parents.

I'm a twin and there's some crazy logic in my head thinking that with twins there's one of each, so it'll be interesting to see what happens with my 2

thunder- yeah it took me a lot of practice with the kids as well..first 3 years i did under 2's so was easier:) Italiah you cant wink with your right eye?:) wow.. my parents being right handed taught me everything backwards so 95% of the time i just look like a lefty trying to use my right hand..i bat right handed bowl left handed :) hehe.

i think i just inherited my Mum's awkwardness so that coupled with being left handed makes me look awkward:) nutty mama..thats a lot of lefties in your family..go the lefties:) !

tishy i wonder what happens with twins..of course mirror twins are one of each..and prem babies are often left handed as well:) but you dont have mirror twins and they arent identical...but they were prem..so who knows?:)

charly thats awesome:) i didnt tell Dh's friends that i was left handed for a year because they play buffalo(have to hold glass in the hand opposite to the hand you write with) :) hehe..

My Mum and Dad are both right handed (Dad plays sports with Left hand)....and I am right handed but Brother is left handed.

Dad has brown eyes and Mum has blue/gray eyes and both my Bro and I have brown eyes.

My DH is right handed and brown eyes therefore Zaara is Brown eyed...She eats and hold a pen in her right hand however kicks a ball with her left foot!! Weird!!
