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

I'm a bear.

Ninak100 · 30/09/2017 08:11

I'm an Eagle but not sure the description is accurate for me? I like to watch from a distance but I'm never organised enough to have everything required when out and about!

Pillowaddict · 30/09/2017 09:06

Bear - accurate I would say!

Sierra259 · 30/09/2017 09:24

I got bear. Probably about right I think.

n0ne · 30/09/2017 11:14

Huh? I didn't get past question 2 as none of the answers were anything like what I'd actually do. Weird quiz.

NotSoSkinnyNow · 30/09/2017 11:34

Another Bear here 🐾

moreshitandnofuckingredemption · 30/09/2017 11:49

Bear for me too

ailsasheldon · 30/09/2017 12:11

Bear. I think children need lots of dirt and infrequent washing.

Moomin7979 · 30/09/2017 17:04

I'm an Eagle and that's spot on!

ilovecake77 · 30/09/2017 18:14

im a bear,sounds about right!

Floralnomad · 30/09/2017 18:37

Well I'm a monkey , although I did have to fudge a couple of the answers as no answer applied . Love Dettol though , particularly the Laundry Cleanser .

Unhappyyear1 · 30/09/2017 19:51

I'm an elephant.

Not sure if this is good or bad!

Obviously an elephant mother never forgets to check her child's school bag for notes about projects/schoolplays/cake stalls etc. You're also a great mum to have in the corner when things go wrong. Woe betide any bullies in the playground once you starts charging!

Not really me at all, I always forget to check for letters and often send things in just before the deadline. I have anxiety so would never feel able to confront playground bullies.

An eagle.
Although the description seems very organised, I'm anything but organised.
