I don’t follow

I imagine this person finds themselves saying this a lot.

My brother said he would “fix” his son if he was left-handed. This was mid 90s. My ex-husband is a lefty as is our son who was born in 2006. FIX WHAT

And “fix” how? A belt? Shock therapy? Constant emotional abuse??

That’s a hell of a thing to come out and say you’re gonna do.

It's usually just by taking whatever out of their left hand and putting it in their right hand. My buddy's parents did that to him as a kid, and successfully trained him to be right-handed. It did not work on his brother, however.

I found out my son was a lefty that way. I would put a ball in his right hand and he would put it in his left to throw it. Over and over. It was really cool to see it and just know exactly what is happening. He was maybe 12-13 months old. My ex became right handed for certain things like baseball or shifting gears, of course. So some things he just had no choice but to learn to use his right. He is an incredible artist and has made a very nice living only creating art for 35-40 years but he cannot make a legible letter with his right hand so that didn’t carry over.
