How to navigate screen time double standards between parents

Our family has screen time rules that I enforce with the kids while my spouse scrolls through work emails during dinner and weekend family time. The kids notice the double standard and I feel like the screen police while my partner thinks I'm being unreasonable about their work demands.

When parents model different relationships with screens, the family splits into enforcers and evaders rather than finding shared rhythm.
