    I always held my son as a baby with his head on my right side… because I’m left-handed.

      Yeah, that tracks. A max estimate of 10% of people are left handed. So, for most it’d feel weird.

        The constant is that you’re inclined to put the baby’s head on your opposing arm so your dominate hand is free, whichever side that is.

        Reserve the word weird for things other than what you personally aren’t used to.

          Yep. Sorry if that wound up being offensive. I do apologize.

            shrug

            I don’t think your comment was that bad. I’m just noticing how in recent years I’ve come across many instances where being left handed is seen as strange or disappointing or even tied to a disorder.

            It feels like social regression when one of the few minority groups that was socially acceptable when I grew up is now getting regarded as less acceptable for some reason.
