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

A bear, not too grizzly but not a teddy either!

Eagle

An Elephant - apparently. I'm not sure I'm actually that organised though. I do like a random quiz!

ohhelpohnoitsa · 06/10/2017 20:11

I am proud to say elephant but in reality I think I am much less likely to go for the "community/family" raising that elephants do. I am a tad too territorial with mine I think, especially when they are babies....I do not like passing them over to another to hold Confused

margaritasbythesea · 06/10/2017 20:38

Bear.

IdontlooklikeEmmaWatson · 06/10/2017 20:47

Baer, quite accurate too Smile

Good bit of marketing work Dettol, engaged even a cynic like me.

Shortie10 · 06/10/2017 20:56

I'm a bear & I think it got me right Smile

Santress · 06/10/2017 21:07

I'm an elephant 😂

Butterfly1975 · 06/10/2017 21:29

I'm an elephant! Liked the graphics - fab Grin

Hopezibah · 06/10/2017 21:34

an elephant parent. Remembering things and nearby but not too helicopter i think.

I'm happy with that!

DinosaurSex · 06/10/2017 21:40

I'm a bear! Judging by the mirror, it seems about right.

OtterlyNutty · 06/10/2017 23:20

Result: Elephant

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!

Marshett · 07/10/2017 06:42

Proud to be pronounced and eagle.
It got me quite right I recon.

Lilmissgen · 07/10/2017 12:44

Muir23 · 07/10/2017 12:53

I'm a bear. Pretty accurate!

burwellmum · 07/10/2017 16:12

I too am an Eagle. Is this linked to generally being on Mumsnet or completing silly quizzes do you think?

NutellaDoughnut · 07/10/2017 17:01

Elephant 🐘

TheCarrotDiet · 07/10/2017 18:04

A bear! Bear

MrBloomsLeftVeg · 07/10/2017 19:49

A bear apparently.
One with a side head mostly. Agree with the baby proofing comment by a pp. Ain't nobody got time for that!

SerenaVanDerWoodsen · 07/10/2017 20:14

Eagle apparently. I do always have tissues so fair enough.

Amber0685 · 07/10/2017 20:47
