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 another Eagle - I am always organised and have everything that I may need for any eventuality!

I'm a bear

I'm a bear. I did find that some questions didn't apply at all. For example the baby proofing question. We didn't do any. Just moved the dangerous bits out of reach.
I sort of agree with the bear parent description though.

I'm a bear :)

Sid98 · 25/09/2017 20:07

I got eagle

lightsON111 · 25/09/2017 20:14

Monkey, yay!!! :)

Kennylou12 · 25/09/2017 20:21

I'm a bear!

Hatethinkingofusernames82 · 25/09/2017 20:22

I got lion!! But like others said above some of my answers were just best of a bad bunch. We did baby proof but only very minimally- I hook to stop them eating all the kiddie snacks and 1 stair gate!
I'd like a bit of a blurb about what each animal is meant to portray!

twinklenic · 25/09/2017 20:25

Im a bear and to be honest it probably sums me up quite well :)

glenka · 25/09/2017 20:29

Apparently I'm a bear.

Ecadia · 25/09/2017 20:30

I am a bear. Very accurate for me Grin

Rae1000 · 25/09/2017 20:31

I am an eagle mum & I sort of get that!!!

asuwere · 25/09/2017 20:31

Apparently I'm an eagle. Based on several guessed answers where there was no answer which suited (eg. Childprooding- didn't have a 'haven't childproofed anything!')

AngelwingsPetlamb · 25/09/2017 20:32

I'm an Eagle and I think that's abpretty spot on result.

Bear here too. Pretty accurate.

daydreambeliever21 · 25/09/2017 20:37

I got elephant. But some of the questions had very similar answers and I didn't think I was any of them.

xcxcsophiexcxc · 25/09/2017 20:38

I'm a bear - growl

SSCRASE123 · 25/09/2017 20:41

I'm a bear it would seem, happy enough with that.

katastrophy13 · 25/09/2017 20:42

Haha, I came out as a bear!

CherriesInTheSnow · 25/09/2017 20:44

A mama bear here, that seems accurate to me _

CherriesInTheSnow · 25/09/2017 20:44

Halo*

LeeR1985 · 25/09/2017 20:46

According to the quiz 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.

Sounds pretty accurate if i'm honest!

IckyPop · 25/09/2017 20:49

Bear. Grrrr!

littleme96 · 25/09/2017 20:53
