It's been a few days it seems.

So, which is your dominant hand?

I'm really interested to see what LO will be.

@crawford411 That is pretty sweet. I've always wanted to meet someone ambidextrous.

I can't do anything with my left hand. If I hold my toothbrush in my left hand, I wind up moving my head back and forth to brush my teeth.

DD has been using both. She seems to bring more stuff up to her mouth with her left hand right now though.

This is so petty but I don't want dd to be a lefty because MIL is left handed and she does that annoying thing "well, she didn't get that from me". I don't want to be reminded every conversation that dd is left handed "just like her."

DH is ambidextrous but favors his left hand. I'm a righty. Dd seems like she is favoring her right hand, at least in terms of sucking her knuckles, but we'll see.

My sister doesn't write with both because she had an Indian preschool teacher that discouraged the use of the left hand (dirty hand). But she does the weirdest thing when she eats. Every time she goes to cut meat, she switches the hand the fork is in, but doesn't switch it back. So sometimes she cuts with her left and sometimes with her right.

She's basically a freak of nature.

I'm left handed and I used to do that when I was younger. I also used to switch hands when writing when one got tired. Now I write with my left but use right handed scissors and throw with my right. Play golf like a right hander but chop veggies like a lefty. People think it's wierd I just think it's normal.

It depends on what I'm doing. But I write left handed, eat left handed, and play certain sports left handed. Other sports I play right handed and I can write decently right handed, it's just not as comfortable.

DS favors his left so far, and both H and I are right-handed. I'm totally interested to see which he ends up using.

Side note: I'm teaching myself to be at least slightly ambidextrous so that I can eat while nursing regardless of which side DE is on

Lol totally this! I'm getting pretty good a lunch and dinner left handed. Forget cereal though, haven't mastered that yet

I picked ambi bc I use both but really I always write with my left and do everything else (eat, crochet, sports) with my right. I think my mom thought I was left handed bc my bro is and had me use that hand when really I was right handed.

I had flash backs of "what should I name my baby" posts when I read this poll's title.

I think ds1 might be ambidextrous. He can do everything with both but seems to prefer different hands for certain tasks. He prefers to eat with his right and has better aim when he throws a ball with his left. Sometimes he will switch back and forth while doing a task. It's really interesting to me.

It is a right-handed world. This topic always reminds me of Ned Flanders on the Simpsons with his shop for left-handed folks!

vrj0522 · December 2014

My siblings and I are all right handed and all of us but one married left handed people. Weird much?

JJsMum · December 2014

I chose Righty, but I probably could have said ambi. I can do everything with either hand, but I favour my right. My writing is definitely neater with my right hand, but perfectly legible and not at all kindergarden-ish with my left hand. I have to say, it's pretty convenient to be able to use either hand when dealing with the kiddos!

sabby2 · December 2014

Overwhelmingly right handed it would seem. Do you think it has anything to do with culture? I can't say I've ever really looked up any studies on this.

lrobi13 · December 2014

Most facilities and equipment is set-up for a right-handed user. Desk at school were often set-up for rightys. Most natural leftys have been forced to become rightys by teachers early on. I read about it at one point and it made tons of sense!

I am a righty but I am really not very dextrious at all
