Motherland returned for a third series to great acclaim earlier this month – but which character are you most like? Take our Motherland quiz to find out!
Currently in the midst of a run of six new episodes, Motherland fans love the BBC comedy starring Anna Maxwell Martin.
But while many of us may identify with the chaos her character Julia endures, others may aspire to being an Alpha Mum…
Motherland quiz question 1: What would you consider an organisational statement of success?
A) Getting the kids to school with both them and yourself in one piece.
B) Everything, including your kitchen cork board.
C) Letting the kids do whatever they want, whether they end up in one piece or not.
Question 2: What are the essentials for a children’s party?
A) Enough food and drink for the kids attending – but not for their mums, too – and a disappointing cat-act-based entertainer.
B) Everything, but it is much more fun to snipe at others’ weak efforts from the sidelines.
