Since your question is asking about the social norms of the interaction you had, I think it would help answerers to know what culture you are in, and also the relation between you and your family member (for instance, the way I'd respond if my grandmother asked me is probably different than if it were a cousin) — Rainbacon 1 min ago

As Upper_Case pointed out, asking if your actions (or others actions) were right or wrong in a situation isn't a good fit for this stack, and may be closed. You may want to remove those parts and focus on how you could tactfully dodge the question. — Rainbacon 1 min ago
