How Many Lefties

I am a proud lefty!

We have 6 kids in the family and only I am left handed. We have a very large extended family and again I am the only one that I know of.

Daughter is predominately leftie...but is completely ambidextrous. Son is rightie all the way. Husband is ambidextrous as well and I am all right.

I have a brother who is leftie also.

My middle child (the moody, temperamental artist) is a leftie, as is my passionate, super smart lawyer SIL. Nobody else on either side, as far as I know.

Interestingly, although my girl is a leftie in all ways, she plays tennis right-handed...

I am a lefty. So are my mom, her dad, one of her four brothers and a couple of my cousins on that side. My dad is a righty, as are six of his seven siblings. The other is truly ambedextrous.

I have three siblings, all right handed. My two sons appear to be right handed (like their dad) but for the younger one it is still too early to be sure. He colored with his left hand for a while today. Mama was so pleased :-)

i'm a leftie=)
my daughter was clearly a righty from day one.

My mom, dad and sister are lefties as are both maternal and paternal grandparents... dinner time at my house was not fun, I was the freak of the family!! My husband and I are both right handed and our son is right handed, but our youngest daughter is a leftie. My husband is old school and wanted to "force" her to use her right hand -- but I wouldn't let him. Luckily her Kindergarten teacher was also a leftie, so she was able to learn how to correctly hold a pencil and form letters from an "expert".

The only lefty on mine or my husband's side of the family is my FIL.

My grandfather, father, myself and my oldest son..... all left handed.

My dad is the only one in our immediate family who is right-handed. My mom, my brother and I are all lefties.

My mom is a lefty--and all of her 4 kids are right-handed!

Two of my 3 sons are lefties!!!

I am left handed, so is my husband and ONE of our 3 kids.
No one in my immediate family was....

Both of my sons are lefties, but no one else in the entire extended family is a lefty. We have no idea how they turned out to be lefties, but they are both incredibly artistic, too.

I'm a leftie so is our son. Daughter and daddy are right handed. The rest of my immediate family is right handed, the only other family member I can think of is my Uncle.

My husband and my uncle (aunt's husband). So far, we can't tell with my son, but he seems to be leaning toward right (as opposed to wrong, ha ha).

Left-handed golf clubs are too expensive.

I'm left-handed, my husband is not.

(Neither of my parents is left-handed, btw.)

We have 4 kids..... and 1 is left-handed.

Our 10 year old daughter is lefty as well as her now deceased Grandpa on her Dad's side. That's it in our family as far as I know.

I'm in the only left handed person in my whole family. My mother had to recruit a left handed friend of hers to teach me to tie my shoes. So far that is the only stumbling block I've had in a world of righties teaching me skills. Well, there are those darn desks in college which were a nuisance come to think of it - the ones where you pull the writing surface up over your lap. Great for righties, agony for lefties, especially for lengthy exams where you'd have to twist and hunker over for three hours at a stretch. I do play all sports right handed thanks to those darn righties, too.

Out of my mom, 2 dads, brother, his wife and their 2 kids, myself, husband, and 2 kids: my mom and I are the only lefties. So of the 11 I know for sure of in my family, just 2.
As an adult (starting around age 22) I realized I can use my right hand as well. I can print with my right hand nicely, but cursive is a bit "scrawly", and it's predominately my left hand that I write with except for novelty. I play billiards, play baseball, and shoot a gun left handed. I play basketball, miniature golf, and shoot a bow right handed. I can throw and catch with both hands, but more powerfully with my left. My right hand is stronger in punches and squeezing. Dunno why.

I think it runs in families. My dad & his brother are lefties as is my husband's brother. My daughter is one but my two sons are not. I thought my one son would be - nope, but he does bat left handed and tries to throw with both. He gets a little confused!

Alexis, my uncle plays sports left handed though he's a righty because my dad (his brother) taught him. One small bit of lefty revenge. ;)

Okay, here is the thing, the stats are flawed. I am a lefty but was raised using my right hand for everything so I ended up using both. I did the same thing to my older three and gave up with the youngest who is my only true lefty.

So pretty much my whole family is left handed but all but one right with our right hand anyway.

I am a lefty and so is my little man. We have one other cousin who is a lefty and that is it and we have a large family.

I do seem to run into more lefties these days.

I don't know about it running in families.... I am the only lefty in my family. and I think I only have 1 nephew that is a lefty. (That's out of 10 nieces, nephews and my kids)

My husband is ambidextrous...does somethings right handed, some left (he eats left handed). I tried to be left handed and my mom kept changing the crayon/pencil/paintbrush to the other hand (it was the practice of the day, that you didn't want your child to be left handed).

My daughter is left handed.

So at our house we have one and a half left handed people and one almost left handed.

Just me and my dad. We are both the babies of the family. My parents have 10 kids. My friend played sports left handed but was right handed in everything else. So far, my daughter is right handed. I see with my twin boys. Maybe the baby of the family will be a lefty too.

My mom's family: 3 out of 10 were lefties

Amongst my siblings, 2 out of 7 were lefties, but I was forced to be a righty and often do many things with my left when I'm not paying attention.

With my birth kids: 2 out of 3 are lefties. Since I'm considered a righty and so is my husband, the chances of having left handed kids is something like less than .012 percent.

Since lefties are no longer forced by schools to conform to being a righty, my bet is that lefties are on the rise.

I love lefty quotes. "Lefties are the only ones in their right mind.' That's some neurology humor.

Ha!
My dad is a lefty and one brother (out of the 5 of us).
BUT....
ALL 3 OF MY KIDS are lefties!! How the heck did THAT happen?? Neither my husband nor myself are left handed.
L.

We've got 2 - my mom and my cousin.

I am plus my son

B. k

.

I was a righty until I popped my right elbow out of place and then I had to become a lefty. My son though is a righty. I thought he was going to be a lefty but nope he turned out to be a righty. My husband is the only one that is lefty like me. Wait I take that back I think my cousin and maybe my uncle are lefties too.

I am ambidextrous...my writing sucks...but I can still write with both hands...eat with both hands...

my best friend is a true lefty....cant write with her left hand nor eat...
