I’m not actually left handed but all 3 of my kids are!

What’s the best worst / thing about being left handed?

Gutted I missed this!! Love being left handed. Definitely runs in my family. Can’t use left handed scissors or a knife in my left hand due to 30 years of being conditioned to do these things right handed. Weird! I have beautiful handwriting though.

Another left hander here! My mum and sister are also lefties but neither of my sons are. My mum grew up in the 50’s and the teachers used to sometimes strap her left hand to the chair to stop her writing with it and throw the waste paper bin at her head if they caught her using her left hand Shock thankfully things have moved on now….

Am happy to be left handed but tennis at school was a non starter for me and scissors are a nightmare to use. On the plus side, I think having to constantly pay more attention and find solutions in a world built for right handed people does make lefties generally more creative and patient.
