Ok your definition of 磕磕碰碰 is not far from mine, normal family dispute is what I'd define it. However normal family dispute that escalates to the use of physical force is considered abuse. Again, I urge you to use common-sense.
In response to the case you described below, you should treat your wife as EQUAL party. Equality for many Chinese men are merely punch words, but don't actually mean anything. Members of the family should share equal responsiblities and make joint decisions together. Why should men be the ones making all the decisions? Why would men take more responsiblity for family problems? Would that be a normal family?
