Seems I'm in the majority! But then I do wonder if many just answered what society would expect - or maybe the answers were too box like?

Average here!

I fell into the second highest % group for the majority of the questions. I did feel most of the questions related to toddler/pre school children (feeding, sleeping & dressing) so my kids are either too old or too young so answered based on what I would do.

Really surprised majority of parents would cry in the loo over violin practise!

It's about what a right for you at the end of the day, only one of my answers was most popular and some did surprise me but I have a happy child and wouldn't change how I'd deal with things

Swap violin for flute and that was my solution - earplugs!

Similar to majority answers really!

I was surprised at the answers that involved bribes or threats. This is not a good way, as children will copy and that's not good for their furure well-being.

I'm Ms Average Mumsnetter apparently. Apart from bedtime when I'm a softy.

Surprised myself agreeing with the majority on all but the last question about sticking the TV on or taking the kids out to the park during school hols. I think a little 'bending' of the truth was made by some there as my local park was suspiciously quiet during the Summer whilst I know it's not as easy to 'get out' when there's still cleaning, washing, shopping and cooking to be done ;)

All done, I appreciate the fact many of us would do anything for an easy life of parenting but I do think sometimes the easiest way isnt always the best in the long run!

I'm more relaxed about things than I thought!

I was in the top two with my answers in each category so I guess average

Average here!

Survey done, What happens when you count to three and nothing happens, I hate that because it always sounds like a threat.

Yeah turns out we mumsnetters are all pretty much alike!

My answers concurred with the Mumsnet majority.

Mostly in agreement with my fellow mnetters. I know it's not ideal but sometimes I get a bit of hard earned peace by letting them use their devices in bed for an hour or more depending on what day it is and what not. I've put blue light filter on their devices too.

Seems I am a typical mum!

super average - could be worse!

We've always prioritised our battles and stood united, not surprised that we agreed on all our answers

Typical me. In the majority with some answers and the minority with others!

Lots of people OK with the pirate-dressing, including me. You can only be a kid for so long!

all done, it turns out I'm an average mumsnetter! xx

Surprised I'm not as harsh as I thought! Turns out I'm quite balanced and mainstream! I was once told don't sweat the petty things (and don't pet the sweaty things😂!) and maybe I took it on board more than I thought!

Suprisingly, I seemed to end up with the majority. Although a lot of it just seems to be common sense and general discipline...
