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

Eagle

shash1982 · 25/09/2017 22:33

I'm an eagle, dammit! Was looking forward to calling myself 'mamma bear!

In all honesty though, with a couple of the questions I had to answer the closest too answer.

maisiesnan · 25/09/2017 22:41

I am a Bear

ItsAMackerel · 25/09/2017 22:43

I'm an eagle - is that good? Smile

GillianY1 · 25/09/2017 22:49

I got 🐒 monkey

freefan · 25/09/2017 23:18

I am a bear, and quite true :)

Narnianescape · 25/09/2017 23:18

I am a bear

Narnianescape · 25/09/2017 23:21

I am a bear

clareycat · 25/09/2017 23:23

I'm an Eagle apparently...however i did feel that the questions didn't really have an option for "generally crazy", ha, ha

Sezza110 · 25/09/2017 23:25

I'm a bear apparently

FortyFacedFuckers · 25/09/2017 23:37

Bear but most of the answers were made up as none of the options were accurate

RainyDaisy · 25/09/2017 23:51

Eagle. I'd say spot on for accuracy!

MSHGW · 25/09/2017 23:52

I got bear. I'm not sure how accurate it is, because I can't see the other options to see if they fit better.

wwwwwwwwwwwwww · 26/09/2017 00:08

An eagle mother

pinkjjf27 · 26/09/2017 00:17

i am a bear but some of those answers were just random and didn't fit our situation at all. I am sure I have been different with all of mine getting a bit more relaxed each time.

HubrisComicGhoul · 26/09/2017 00:35

I got the bear 🐻. I can live with that ☺

compy99 · 26/09/2017 00:41

I am an Eagle!

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 26/09/2017 00:42

I'm an eagle, sounds right to me.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 26/09/2017 00:55

Eagle definitely true.
I also have eyes in the back of my head that work. (According to DD Smile )

Funkyferret · 26/09/2017 01:37

I came out an eagle but to be honest, the eagle sounds a lot more on the ball than I am - not in the face of danger, but a lot more forward thinking regarding being organised!

bababia · 26/09/2017 02:25

An elephant! Hmmm, not confrontational though...

WhosTakingDeHorseToFrance · 26/09/2017 02:50

Another eagle 🦅 swooping in for duty...

GrasswillbeGreener · 26/09/2017 04:37

Another bear here. Seems about right. Agree surprising that it would be when a number of questions didn't have a set of answers that really fitted my experience or habits!

My little cubs are growing up fast though and sometimes this mother bear can't fix things right :(

alabaster002 · 26/09/2017 06:37

I am an eagle!!!

WowOoo · 26/09/2017 06:56

I'm an elephant - the grey, wrinkly with a large bum part is correct.
