When couples disagree about enforcing parenting rules they both agreed to

My husband and I keep having the same fight about screen time for our kids — he thinks I'm being too rigid with the rules we agreed on, I think he's undermining everything when he lets them have 'just a few more minutes.' We're both trying to be good parents but we can't seem to find our way to actually being on the same team about this.
