When couples can't stick to gaming limits they set for their children

My partner and I agreed to limit our kid's gaming to two hours on weekdays but we keep undermining each other — I'll say no more games and then find out my partner let them play another hour because they had a hard day, and when my partner tries to enforce it I sometimes cave because the meltdown feels unbearable.
