Is my parents' satisfaction with me considered part of Allah Almighty's satisfaction with me?
The rights of parents are immense. Righteousness towards them is linked to Tawhid (monotheism), and gratitude towards them is linked to gratitude towards Allah. Being good to them is among the most beloved deeds to Allah. Allah, the Almighty, said: (Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good) and He said: (And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and to parents, show righteousness). In the Hadith, it is mentioned: (Prayer on time, then righteousness to parents, then Jihad in the way of Allah). And (The Lord's pleasure is in the parent's pleasure, and the Lord's displeasure is in the parent's displeasure). Therefore, your parents being pleased with you is a cause for Allah Almighty to be pleased with you.
