About This Quiz

If you think you are king of the Mr. Moms, let this quiz give you the proof you need to prove it to the world. It takes a special kind of guy to fill the role of Mr. Mom. Whether you are considering the career change or strutting your stuff, we think we'll be able to tell how much of a real Mr. Mom you are! 

No matter your gender, being a parent is hard work! There are no sick days. There are no vacations. In fact, you are rarely granted the opportunity to enjoy your bubble bath in peace and quiet. Once you tell us about your days and your ability to deal with children, we'll let you know how well you are doing. 

As a parent, it's easy to question your abilities. Each day brings a new set of challenges, and each year brings a new phase of development. Simply keeping up with your children takes the stamina of a racehorse. After you answer our questions, this quiz will let you know once and for all if you're cut from the Mr. Mom cloth or if you're "not the mama." How do you think it's going to go?
