The answer

Obedience to parents and showing them kindness are obligatory. However, their obedience is limited to what is good and does not involve disobedience to Allah the Almighty, and to what benefits them without harming the child. If their abstention from a certain matter does not benefit them, or if it harms the child, then obedience to them is not obligatory in that instance.
