Dettol has launched a quiz on Mumsnet in partnership with their new ‘Protect like a Mother’ campaign. Have a go and let us know what you think of your result!

Here’s what Dettol has to say: “We know that a mother’s protection of her child is unconditional and just like an animal in the wild, she will do whatever it takes to create a safe environment for her family. We provide mums with that same unconditional protection for the whole family throughout the home.”

Any nature documentary will tell you that mothers in the wild are not to be crossed when it comes to their young. However, they all have their own individual styles of protection. Take the quiz and find out what type of animal mum you’re most like! Do you protect your child like an Elephant? Or are you more like a monkey? Or even a lion?! Have a go and come back here and let us know what you are. Do you agree with the result? Whatever kind of parent you turn out to be in the wild, we would love to hear what your thoughts are.

Everyone who posts on this thread, after taking the quiz will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck

Another Bear here, curious to know what the characteristics of the other animals are

I'm a bear. I do think of myself as mumma bear. In reality I'd be rubbish in the wild as there's no toilet paper. King Julian 'who wipes?'

ChocolateChipMuffin2016 · 27/09/2017 10:14

I'm an eagle too! Not surprised really, first time mum!

AugustRose · 27/09/2017 10:15

I'm a bear Bear probably about right

torthecatlady · 27/09/2017 11:04

I'm a lion! 🦁

The question about the "hideous" project brought home made me laugh. The bit about wrapping it up beautifully for the grandparents! Grin

Davenotdave · 27/09/2017 11:29

I got a 🐻 bear

allsorts4444 · 27/09/2017 11:54

I'm a lion - but I already knew this! :)

sharond101 · 27/09/2017 12:32

Elephant, thought I'd be a lion!

southernsun · 27/09/2017 12:48

That was quite fun to do, I got Bear which seems fair enough.

Dapootz · 27/09/2017 13:00

I'm a bear

cat16lacey · 27/09/2017 13:11

I am a monkey mother! Love doing activities with the kids.

EllieQ · 27/09/2017 13:21

I'm an elephant! Though the description of always being prepared makes it sound as though elephants are in the Scouts Grin

moonray · 27/09/2017 15:13

I got Elephant! Enjoyed this survey , and my result is pretty spot on too

MrsMarigold · 27/09/2017 16:34

Bear, but rubbish questions.

Wauden · 27/09/2017 16:36

Elephant trumpetting here. My favourite answer was the one where you make a presentation case for the hideous artwork!!! Easter Smile

revelsandrose · 27/09/2017 16:52

I'm an eagle, just because old ds2 I'm an eagle mum who 'watches from a distance' and he said I'm not because apparently I'm too 'in his face' Grin

PhuntSox · 27/09/2017 17:24

Bear!

EskSmith · 27/09/2017 18:13

I'm an eagle - Some answers were pretty odd though so had to pick the least bad rather than the one that most suited me. Also much more geared toward younger children than mine I guess.

I'm also another one struggling to see the dettol link

5BlueHydrangea · 27/09/2017 18:24

I got Bear (as did loads of people!) I think the description is pretty accurate though so quite happy.

claza93 · 27/09/2017 19:27

Eagle! I would say that this is spot on! Cant be bothered with being a helicopter mum!

hbakfam · 27/09/2017 19:28

I got Eagle, like everyone else!

angela121262 · 27/09/2017 19:31

I'm a Bear!

daisygirlmac · 27/09/2017 19:31

I'm a bear

Marg2k8 · 27/09/2017 19:38

I'm an Eagle too. Fun quiz.

Debsben16 · 27/09/2017 20:05

I got eagle. Yep that's about right.
