Cackhanders

[Kafka]

when my daughter was a baby it looked like she was going to be a leftie like her dad, sorry kafka ( i am a rightie) so i started making her take things with her right,

I wasn't saying that the child of a LH father can't be LH themselves. According to the experts everyone has a roughly 10% chance of being LH regardless of parents, but its the mother that increases that possibility to something like 20%.
The father's influence only seems to kick in if both parents are LH, and even then the odds only come out at about 40%, when logic suggests that it would be much higher. I don't recall anyone having any explanation for this, its just what the studies seem to suggest.

We're five brothers, two sisters...parents both right-handed:

My eldest brother is Right,
The one after him is Left,
The one after him is Right,
The one after him is Left,
The one after him is Right,
My sis is Left,
I'm Right, (as is hubby)
My daughter is Left,
My son is Right.

Wow crash bet it looks good when you are all marching lol
Kafka i was only saying she didnt get it from me, coincidentally my mother was a rightie and her youngest son was a lefty, and most of both sides of my family are righties.
In fact theres only been one lefty for generations!
I think the researchers should go back to the drawing board
