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 an eagle! Ridiculously over prepared seems about right for me (leaves for local shop with biggest changing backpack in the world)Blush

I got bear.

I'm a Bear
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.

An Eagle. wish I had an eagle's eyesight!

sofieellis · 09/10/2017 11:28

I'm a bear. I think generally speaking my kids would say I'm too overprotective, but I do try hard not to be and to let them be independent.

babyann · 09/10/2017 11:45

I'm a bear :-)

cheekylittledevil · 09/10/2017 12:45

I'm a bear. Better than a monkey I guess.....?

sorrycamel · 09/10/2017 13:05

An Eagle. A very odd quiz.

thesoupdragon44 · 09/10/2017 13:11

It says I am a bear, which I suppose is a little true!

OuchBollocks · 09/10/2017 13:34

Yet another bear. What an odd little quiz. Still it passed a minute.

Dessallara · 09/10/2017 13:58

Eagle! :O

Sammie87 · 09/10/2017 14:08

I am a monkey... A fun mum they say and I have to agree, it's very true. We do love to have lots of fun.

MsMommie · 09/10/2017 15:09

Apparently, I am an eagle.
But their weren't many answers I could have picked that were accurate so I picked the closest to what I would do.
I don't carry plasters around, and I am not organised at all.

cluckyhen · 09/10/2017 15:50

Monkey!!

SillyMoomin · 09/10/2017 16:28

Oh.. Im a lion.

I'm not sure if I;m pleased about that or horrified I've clearly turned into my mother....

gnomeisland · 09/10/2017 16:51

I got bear

sarahw2 · 09/10/2017 17:26

I'm a Bear, and apparently a great friend too. I'll take that!

APaperMe · 09/10/2017 17:39

Eagle, watching out for my children from a distance I think is correct, always prepared, not so much.

Brandypie · 09/10/2017 18:07

Bear! "You might not be the loudest, most outgoing.." Story of my life lol

ptak5566 · 09/10/2017 18:50

I'm an Elephant!!! .... thought I'd said goodbye to the Circus!!

rejcomp · 09/10/2017 18:59

Elephant, I'm rather proud and going to ... oh what was it...

spanglisher · 09/10/2017 19:03

chrisstreet · 09/10/2017 19:15

I'm a bear..

Landed · 09/10/2017 20:06

Bear. Fun quiz reminds me of those in my comics years ago as dettol reminds me of home when I was a child, though I do prefer the lavender scented one nowadays.
