The answer

The mother's right is great, and honoring her and obeying her in what is good is among the most emphasized obligations. However, it is not among the obligatory acts of righteousness to inform her of all financial income and expenditures. If she insists, one can discreetly avoid the topic with wisdom and veiled hints, without resorting to lies.
