I'm Right Handed

I have many left handed people in my family. It never hit me that my own kids could be and my youngest is but not before I kept shoving the pencil in the wrong hand and him playing sports lefty did I realize I never paid attention.

That is a bummer. No one - parents, grandparents, teachers, uncle, and aunts - has the right to correct or punish someone for using the opposite hand.

I am naturally left-handed. When I was learning to feed myself, I would use the left hand. My grandmother would take away the fork or spoon, slap my hand hard, then replace the filled implement in my right hand and force me to eat like that.I would take one bite to oblige her, but the next bit would be with my left hand.

My mom was watching.Finally, she stepped in. "I think she's going to be a left-hander."

Grandma objected. "We don't have any in our family!"

"Well," Mom reasoned, "She'll be the first."

That was several decades ago. I learned to write left-handed in school, and nobody said one word. I used crayons, paints and markers with my left hand. Nothing.I reach for things instinctively now with my left hand first . Those right-hand-only desks were a detriment to my writing anything.

There is nothing "wrong" about being a left-handed person. We are just "different handed"is all. I'm sorry for what you went through at school.

I'd give my right arm, to be ambidextrous!! 🤦‍♀️

When I was in public school. If you were caught using your left hand to write with. You got the ruler over your knuckles. Back then it was considered wrong to write with your left hand.

I’m a leftie and they used to try to make me write as a rightie... just couldn’t

With work you could regain it

I’ve always been ambi dexterous 🙂. You use both sides of your brain 👍️

Right handed would work 😉💓

If you practice it, it'll come back. i'm right handed, but learned to write with my left after injuring my right shoulder as a young girl... and i can still write with both hands to this day.

That is a real bummer. When you are born, the brain decides what hand you will use for what.\

Better try again
