For me it's definitely my dad. My mom was always so hard and kind of naive in a sense. She grew up on a farm, knew very little people, married the first man she met and the rest is history. My dad however was in a band, had a taste of the sex, drugs and rock n roll era and I could never fool him. No matter what lie I told him he could see right through me. When I was in college they caught me smoking weed. My mom flipped out. My dad smelled it and said: "This is $hit weed" and left.
A couple of years ago I decided that I wanted to go and backpack which my parents weren't happy about. My dad would prefer that I went to college straight away but what can you do. I went and the first thing that happens is that my backpack gets lost at the airport and I get robbed of the little money I had. I called my parents, my mom answered, and again she freaked out. "You come home this instance, you hear me!?".
My dad: "Relax, take it easy. Is there a bar there? Go have a beer. I've found that most things sort themselves while having a beer. I'll wire you some money. It all goes in an instant these days". And he was right. I had a beer, I met some people, including my future girlfriend, and I got my bag back a few days later.
So I got to say my dad is WAAY cooler than my mom. Not saying my mom isn't amazing just different. How about your parents?
