Well, that meant that too many people make the same mistake.
"Father and mother" are a plural subject.

3. Two or more singular nouns or pronouns joined by and require a plural verb; as,
(a) Gold and silver are precious metals.
(b) Fire and water do not agree.
(c) Knowledge and wisdom have oft-times no connection.
(d) Are your father and mother at home?
(e) He and I were playing.
But if the nouns suggest one idea to the mind, or refer to the same person or thing, the verb is singular; as,
Time and tide waits for no man.
The horse and carriage is at the door.
Bread and butter is his only food.
The rise and fall of the tide is due to lunar influence.
The novelist and poet is dead.
