I think we all would agree that having one "average" parent is better than have one or two that are abusive. So let's just keep the conversation in terms of the "average" parent (ex. has a job, does their best to raise their children, etc.).
Regarding the other examples (cold, cordial), I do think that when it comes to parenting styles (loving vs. cordial, strict vs. liberal) it can get VERY subjective. For example, what I deem as nothing more than "disciplining out of love", someone else may not think otherwise and deem me a bad parent.
