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

Oh. I'm an elephant. Apparantly I never forget anything? Hmm. Not sure it's too accurate, but fun anyway!

sammi0805 · 13/10/2017 19:37

I'm a bear. My little cub is only 1 so I didn't have much experience in all those scenarios just yet, but I will one day soon.

Lizadot · 13/10/2017 22:24

I’m an elephant! Fairly accurate apart from my memory is shocking!

Hateloggingin · 16/10/2017 00:06

Elephant apparently, possibly correct in parts. Not sure about all the sexist language though... do fathers not protect their children?

Joboo4kids · 16/10/2017 10:52

Done the survey and I'm a bear and what it says pretty much sums me up too. 👍🏻

Getsorted21 · 16/10/2017 13:18

Winningbeauty · 19/10/2017 12:04

Ah ha ha lion!!!!!

MrWriter · 19/10/2017 12:14

Im 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.

Fairly accurate, though I had to just pick some answers that were kinda close to what I would do!

20ikeameatballs · 19/10/2017 22:10

Bear! This tallies with how I appear early in the morning when grumpy and grizzly Grin

Hmumto3 · 20/10/2017 00:36
