There is not a time differential between Ma and Pa and Mom and Dad it is a regional differential. Different regions call their parents different names, I was brought up in the North Est of England and called my parents Mam and Dad while my wife was brought up in the North West of England had called her parents Mum and Dad

Additional note: While regional (and national) variations exist in terms of parental nicknames, in the USA there was CLEARLY a generational shift between the 1910's and 1930's. In the early part of the 20th century, and likely far earlier, children called their parents Ma and Pa (or at least this was the case in the North and NE part of the US and my grandparent's generation). But that clearly changed as that generation became parents: my father and his siblings called their parents Mom and Dad.
