My mom is the only lefty of her siblings, yet she's the only one without any lefty kids. It'd be awesome if LO were a lefty, but I'm fine with it going either way. </p> <p>@Mrs. Earrings: That's interesting because other than my mom, my experience is exactly opposite. DH, my guy cousins and friends who are lefty have very nice handwriting. My lefty girl cousins and friends have horrible penmanship! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91394 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:59:40 +0000 leelee 91394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both lefties so it would be cool if LO was a lefty too but it's really not a big deal is she wasn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91384 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:33:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 91384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't care either way! my dad is a lefty, mom's a righty..brother and I are both righties.</p> <p>ETA - @Mrs.Earrings: that's funny! my dad is a lefty, and he writes like a typewriter! super tiny block print, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91380 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:25:29 +0000 tequiero21 91380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think i was supposed to be a lefty. but i'm a righty but i am stronger with some stuff with my left. i want my kids to be both! ambidextrous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91376 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:14:09 +0000 mrs.earrings 91376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No preference. My husband is a lefty and I am a righty. We are both quite artistic so I dont think which hand we use more has much to do with it :P I have noticed though that all the left-handed girls I know have very neat handwriting and all the left-handed boys I know have messy handwriting. I find that interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91244 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 11:46:59 +0000 mrbee 91244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: haha didn't realize you were so anti-rightist!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91238 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 11:43:55 +0000 chopsuey 91238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd rather LO be a righty. Ambidextrous would be awesome though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91139 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 06:35:20 +0000 Andrea 91139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slight prefernce for the right. She seems to use her right hand more while coloring and holding her fork so I am guessing that's how it will go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91137 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 06:29:42 +0000 mynoahbear 91137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a lefty. I'm a righty. We don't have a preference for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91103 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 01:53:50 +0000 autumnlove 91103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't have a preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91102 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 01:45:16 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 91102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a lefty and at 10 months LO is already showing a major preference for her left hand. It doesn't matter to us either way though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91040 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:38:05 +0000 BSB 91040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a lefty and I'm a righty. Righty's are so much better! ;) J/k. Yeah, I don't really care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91037 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:33:38 +0000 aunt pol 91037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both lefties and would probably like it if the babas were as well. DH's older bro and sis are both lefties as well, even though his parents are both righties- strange! Same as Blushink- other than soreness from stupid scissors, I wouldn't say it was any hindrance to me growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91033 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:27:16 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 91033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apart from crappt scissors and having ink and liquid paper (when it was actually liquid) I didn't have issues with being a lefty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91021 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:12:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 91021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is a lefty and I'm a righty. He says it can be difficult being a lefty in a righty world. But he still wants one of our future kids to be a lefty. I have no preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91016 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:05:26 +0000 heffalump 91016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I care either way.</p> <p>I'm a righty and I like to think I'm smart. And I have a degree in art, so I also like to think I'm artistic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91014 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:04:20 +0000 Rubies 91014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hubs and I are both right-handed but we think LO will be a lefty - she is showing preference for her left hand. My parents think it's adorable that she might be a lefty but my MIL is very upset at this - she thinks lefties are disadvantaged in life. Psh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-your-lo-to-be-a-lefty-or-righty#post-91009 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 20:50:29 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 91009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a lefty and the hubs is a righty. Bets are on to see what our son will be. I have a preference for lefties. They usually are smart (er) and artistic. </p> <p>Do you have a preference ? </p>
