Mother and Father

Okay,... I have a question. When did "Mother" and "Father" lose favor with the general public. The words, I mean. I was watching one of the morning shows (not that it matters because they're all bad, but probably the Today show if you need a reference point) and there was the typical interviewer, and two interviewees. And they were talking about sickness or death or something and they kept referring to the parents as mom or dad. Not once did they use mother or father. I know "mom" and "dad" are an easier and softer way, but jeez.

So, I obviously missed the memo. Can someone give me a short update?
