It is joking way to say that, sometimes even sarcastic, which would mean just the opposite of this statement.
Just the phrase is not enough, you have to know the contest.

I think it really depends on the context the person says it in...it could be positive, or it could be sarcastic; in that case, it would mean that the person is NOT a good father.

It means he's a really great father. At least, that's how I've always understood that idiom.
