Golden Dad

(n.) A father who's so cool you can't help wishing he was your dad, too. Someone who takes things in stride, never loses his shit, always supportive and has your back, and somehow manages to deal with his kid--no matter what--in a calm, respectful way.

Can you believe him? His kid is gone three days, busted for car theft, freaking out in jail, and he's bailed him out and talking him down calmly. Totally golden dad stuff, that is.
Could also be golden mom or other near relative if they fit the bill.
