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 am a Bear and that seems accurate for me.

fld14 · 25/09/2017 18:54

ang65t · 25/09/2017 18:56

Im a Monkey mum! The fun mum, that's totally me, just a big kid at heart doing all the things with my little man that I was never allowed to do

Chloe96 · 25/09/2017 19:04

feefeegabor · 25/09/2017 19:08

I'm an Eagle!

Zebee · 25/09/2017 19:11

I got eagle but feel like I go between benign neglect and tiger mum depending on what situation.

elizaco · 25/09/2017 19:12

Another elephant here!

OwlKiss · 25/09/2017 19:12

I am an eagle. Goes quite well with my user name; perhaps I am an eagle owl!

ThemisA · 25/09/2017 19:18

I'm a bear - quite hard to answer because for some questions I wanted to answer twice.

Cailin7 · 25/09/2017 19:24

I am an eagle. Not sure this is totally me but if I was an animal I would like to be an eagle.

pourmeanotherglass · 25/09/2017 19:32

I'm a bear.

thesockgap · 25/09/2017 19:36

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!

I'm definitely quite organised and always check schoolbags every evening, but I'm not sure about the charging at bullies!

JemIsMyNameNooneElseIsTheSame · 25/09/2017 19:37

Eagle apparently. Finding it hard to decide whether I agree.

autumncolour · 25/09/2017 19:42

Eagle - better than some of the possibilities I thought of when I started the quiz....

FadedRed · 25/09/2017 19:42

And yet another Bear here. 🐻🐼🐨

madge47 · 25/09/2017 19:42

janeyf1 · 25/09/2017 19:45

Lisapaige24 · 25/09/2017 19:45
