No they weren't, but it's not like they had much of a nuclear family in their formative years either - Eärendil went on his great voyages when they were no older than two, and the Third Kinslaying and the separation from Elwing happened only a few years later - , so Elrond's memory of his parents may have been a little hazy. No wonder he overdid the parental protectiveness where Arwen was concerned, if you look at it from his own biography - trying to be a better dad than he had?
