Honor Your Father and Mother

"How far does honoring one's father and mother extend? Even were they to take his purse of golden coins and throw it in his presence into the sea, he should not embarrass, pain them or become angry, but accept the Torah's decree in silence."

Yoreh De'ah 241:6
The [standard code of Jewish law from the 16th century] Shulhan Arukh
