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

Elephant. So my son is wrong (on many levels) when he calls me a hippo. It's a challenging phase.

Nowwhatisit · 08/10/2017 09:31

I'm a bear. Well I do like honey

ritagcabrita · 08/10/2017 14:04

I am a Monkey! A triple fun mummy of 3 :)

tabbaz123 · 08/10/2017 16:38

Well apparently I am an Elephant - Just don't call me Nellie!

BerrySmoothie · 08/10/2017 17:59

Someaddedsugar · 08/10/2017 20:30

Also an eagle 🦅! Very accurate too I think as our changing bag appears to have items for every potential occurance!

cait2695 · 08/10/2017 20:39

Minnibix · 08/10/2017 21:08

I am a bear, not sure if that's good or bad

slithytove · 08/10/2017 21:37

Do dads not protect or love unconditionally?

Why not have it as protect like a parent?

slithytove · 08/10/2017 21:40

Eagle' utter balls

TyneTeas · 08/10/2017 21:45

Another Eagle

daisyduck123 · 08/10/2017 22:20

I'm a bear and yes, it's pretty close :)

You might not be the loudest, most outgoing parent but when push comes to shove you're there to step up to any parenting challenge. You prefer situations you're familiar with and once someone gets to know you they couldn't find a better friend in you.

Angelfaced · 08/10/2017 22:33

I am an elephant mother 😊
I now have 2 children so I am more settled and confident in my parenting. I try not to pass my anxieties onto my children by gritting my teeth and not being too overprotective.

lexy2009 · 08/10/2017 22:59

About right I'm a bear

Fanciedachange17 · 08/10/2017 23:35

Bear. I don't like Bears. I wish I was a unicorn.

rocketriffs · 08/10/2017 23:40
