I love the Burkles. "Honey, it's just a decapitated head! Stop making such a fuss!" (slightly paraphrased, since it's been too long since I rewatched the show.)

I actually thought that Angel was a very good father, within his own limitations--that is, I loved the way he loved Connor, if that makes any sense. DB is surprisingly good at playing dads (he has a son on his new show.)
