Are the following actions considered to be disobedience to parents: reading on the internet or books while the mother is speaking to everyone, sitting while the mother finishes household chores after she has requested it, and not intervening in the affairs of an isolated father who refuses assistance?

Righteousness towards parents is among the noblest of good deeds, and disobedience to them is among the gravest of sins. The wise person hastens to be dutiful to their parents and does not wait for them to ask. They know what their parents love and what they dislike. If the mother sits and speaks, silence and attentiveness are most appropriate, unless the nature of the gathering requires speech or there is a custom that does not displease the mother. Being preoccupied with a mobile phone or other things during the mother's conversation is not polite, unless there is an acceptable custom for it, or if the topic is not important. Leaving the daughter's mother to do household chores alone is not righteousness; rather, it is harshness and a lack of resolve on the daughter's part, indicating that she views righteousness as a burden that falls away with the lifting of obligation. As for the father, his not asking for anything does not lift the responsibility of righteousness and service. Rather, one must hasten to serve him and please him without waiting for a request, and his not asking may be due to the disobedience and argumentation of the children.
